Other Indie FavoritesThe Lion Seeker: A Novel, by Kenneth Bonert (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, $28) “This is a perfect book, and given that it is Bonert’s debut novel, it’s even more astounding. He uses South African apartheid, where blacks are treated like the Jews of Eastern Europe, to convey the drama of a Lithuanian family’s emigration to escape the very debasement that they then perpetrate on those who live in their new community. It’s a complicated story well told, emotional, fraught with angst, but also with some of the most memorable characters in recent fictional history.” —Gayle Shanks, Changing Hands Bookstore, Tempe, AZ

The Last Animal: Stories, by Abby Geni (Counterpoint [Dist. PGW], $24) “When people let you down, the natural world is the place to find solace, or so the reader learns from this fascinating new collection of short stories. Whether it be from Alzheimer’s, depression, affairs, or reasons yet to be determined, family members in these stories keep disappearing. Fortunately, there are substitute connections, whether it’s the teen student in ‘Dharma at the Gate’ who has her dog, or the young aquarium worker of ‘Captivity’ who is quite aware of the intelligence of the octopus. Geni’s work is filled with unique images and situations, some of them heart-stopping.” —Daniel Goldin, Boswell Book Company, Milwaukee, WI

Another Indie FavoriteThe Tulip Eaters: A Novel, by Antoinette van Heugten (Harlequin MIRA, $15.95) “This novel is set in the present day, but the reader learns much about World War II from its pages. Nora, a doctor, comes home to find her mother dead and her young daughter missing. Why would someone want to harm her mother? After finding a locked metal box, Nora begins to wonder if the murder and kidnapping could be related to World War II and discovers many secrets her mother and father carried with them for years. Saving her daughter means traveling to Amsterdam to piece together the truth.” —Rebecca Harrison, Lincoln’s Loft, Hodgenville, KY
