Other Indie FavoritesGemini: A Novel, by Carol Cassella (Simon & Schuster, $25.99) “A medical mystery, a love story, and a novel of depth and complexity—Cassella manages all of this in Gemini. Jane Doe is transferred late at night into the care of ICU doctor Charlotte Reese. Jane has been dropped on the hospital doorstep with a thick pile of papers detailing everything that can go wrong with her after a hit-and-run accident, but the crucial detail of her identity is missing and with it, the people who would speak for her while she dwells in a coma. As Charlotte attempts to unravel the mystery of her patient, she finds herself examining her own life. Full of suspense, heartbreak, insight, and a gripping, unexpected ending, Gemini is a pleasure to read.” —Luisa Smith, Book Passage, Corte Madera, CA

The Enchanted: A Novel, by Rene Denfeld (Harper, $25.99) “A death row inmate, a fallen priest, and the Lady. These nameless characters are central to this dark, enthralling, magical story. Locked in a dungeon cell, the inmate deals with his incarceration by transforming the prison into a wondrous place. The rumblings of the earth become golden horses running below his cell, molten lava flowing from their manes. The Lady works to have the sentences of the condemned commuted to life in prison, while the priest is fallen, lost, and desperately in love with her. These characters live and work in a truly enchanted place, and I was sorry to leave them behind when the book was finished.” —Jessie Martin, Nicola’s Books, Ann Arbor, MI

MASS MARKETAnother Indie FavoriteSnapper, by Brian Kimberling (Vintage, $15) “Snapper is a beautiful collection of related short stories from first-time author Brian Kimberling. The stories observe Nathan Lochmueller—bird researcher and romantic underachiever—and his fellow residents of southern Indiana. By turns melancholy and suspenseful, optimistic and rueful, Snapper is warm, endearing, and wise. You don’t have to be a bird lover to spot the charm in this book.” —David Enyeart, Common Good Books, St. Paul, MN

ould there be anything m
ore evil than a fatuous self-help book? T
he answer lies in the pages of
Knightley & Son, w
here it shares space with som
e terrific espionage, puzzle solving, hum
or, and som
e very entertaining, if belated, father-and-son bonding. A
s enjoyable as it is engaging, Knightley &
Son succeeds in its dual plans of unmasking a
nefarious conspiracy and captivating middle grade
readers.” —K
