MASS MARKETAnother Indie FavoriteLost and Wanted: A Novel, by Nell Freudenberger (Vintage, $16.95) “Helen is a successful physicist and a single mother, but when her best friend, Charlie, dies, she must confront the limitations of love and science. As in her previous novel, The Newlyweds, Freudenberger writes with understated authority about grief, motherhood, and coming to terms with the decisions you make throughout your life. Everyone in Helen’s orbit is touched by Charlie’s death, and their grief is as mysterious as the scientific questions Helen grapples with in her work. This is a powerfully beautiful novel.” —Tyler Goodson, Avid Bookshop, Athens, GA
