Chris Bohjalian's Secrets of Eden

Publishers Weekly's starred review of Chris Bohjalian's Secrets of Eden (February 2010):

"Bohjalian (Law of Similars) has built a reputation on his rich characters and immersing readers in diverse subjects—homeopathy, animal rights activism, midwifery—and his latest surely won’t disappoint. . .This is a masterfully human and compassionate tale."

Developing characters, interesting issues and themes, and, of course, secrets revealed. What more can a reading group want! 

Look for Secrets of Eden in February and a surprise in the February 2010 Reading Group Choices e-newletter!
