the indie NEXT list Life After Life A Novel, by Jill McCorkle (Algonquin/A Shannon Ravenel Book, 9781565122550, $24.95) “Let yourself be drawn into the world of Pine Haven Estates in Fulton, North Carolina, and treat yourself to a cast of characters so rich that you will be bereft every time the point of view changes, only to find yourself enchanted anew. Pine Haven Estates is a retirement community, where life and death are inevitable companions. Its inhabitants and the people who care for and about them are at the center of this story that examines the cycle of life—what it means to be alive as well as how one faces the end of life. McCorkle’s first novel in 17 years depicts a community well worth visiting and offers a wonderfully satisfying reading experience.” —Terry Gilman, Mysterious Galaxy, San Diego, CA Life After Life A Novel, by Kate Atkinson (Little, Brown/Reagan Arthur Books, 9780316176484, $27.99) “Life After Life is both an engaging puzzle and a meticulously detailed historical novel that spans the two World Wars. With the introduction of Ursula Todd, a woman who lives her life over and over, Atkinson plays with second chances and alternate histories, and poses endless, fascinating questions: What would the world be like if we could start over when things went terribly awry? Could our decisions, big and small, avert wars? Make us happier? Stop death in its tracks? Life After Life is simply a terrific novel, rich with history and possibility, that will leave the reader pondering long after the final page.” —Kat Bailey, Bookshop Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz, CA The Unchangeable Spots of Leopards The Supremes at Earl’s All-You-Can-Eat A Novel, by Edward Kelsey Moore (Knopf, 9780307959928, $24.95) Recommended by Linda Bond, Auntie’s Bookstore, Spokane, WA Ordinary Grace A Novel, by William Kent Krueger (Atria, 9781451645828, $24.99) Recommended by William Bauer, Redbery Books, Cable, WI Reconstructing Amelia A Novel, by Kimberly McCreight (Harper, 9780062225436, $25.99) Recommended by Jerry Brown, The Bookstore, Radcliff, KY The Ashford Affair A Novel, by Lauren Willig (St. Martin’s Press, 9781250014498, $24.99) Recommended by Nicola Rooney, Nicola’s Books, Ann Arbor, MI Love Water Memory A Novel, by Jenny Shortridge (Gallery Books, 9781451684834, $26) Recommended by Cheryl Krocker McKeon, Book Passage, San Francisco, CA The Guilty One A Novel, by Lisa Ballantyne (William Morrow Paperbacks, 9780062195517, $14.99) Recommended by Nancy McFarlane, Fiction Addiction, Greenville, SC The Mothers A Novel, by Jennifer Gilmore (Scribner, 9781451697254, $26) Recommended by Nancy Simpson-Brice, Book Vault, Oskaloosa, IA Leaving Everything Most Loved A Maisie Dobbs Novel, by Jacqueline Winspear (Harper, 9780062049605, $26.99) Recommended by Lorna Ruby, Wellesley Bookshop, Wellesley, MA Criminal Enterprise A Novel, by Owen Laukkanen (Putnam, 9780399157905, $26.95) Recommended by Susan Wasson, Bookworks, Albuquerque, NM APRIL ’13 Find more independent bookseller recommendations at IndieBound.org IndieBound is a movement of the American Booksellers Association.
