One of my favorites of 2012... Lazar's Women/The Women of Lazarus is a not-so-typical family saga, thanks to thematic and stylistic twists. (Or maybe overload?) The reading is sometimes uncomfortable (e.g. ballerinas smoking in the bathroom) but I found the book surprisingly rewarding once I realized I shouldn't read it too literally.

(There's more on my blog, here.) (
