Other Indie FavoritesThe Last Days of California: A Novel, by Mary Miller (Liveright Publishing, $24.95) “Two sisters bicker with one another over the space in a car’s backseat, gas station snack choices, motel room beds, and boys, of course. Only this isn’t another angst-ridden coming-of-age road trip novel. This family is driving from Georgia to California so its members can witness the Rapture as it rolls through the world’s time zones and arrives, at blessed last, in Pacific Standard Time. A swift, quirky, earnest read that will resonate with anyone who’s ever been to a church sleepover, proselytized, or just been a teenager.”—Stacie M. Williams, Boswell Book Company, Milwaukee, WI

Pigs Can’t Swim: A Memoir, by Helen Peppe (DaCapo Press, $22.99) “For Helen, born into a Maine farm family featuring eight children, parents with good intentions but far too much to do, assorted animals raised to be eaten, and gardens to weed and hoe, two things soon become clear: books provide a necessary escape from the rampant chaos, and vegetarianism is a must if one is to avoid eating one’s friends. Helen, the youngest, is an animal lover among carnivores, a rule follower who stands guard over her rebellious siblings, and the only reader in the house. Peppe’s mordant humor, her irreverence, and her astonishing ear for dialogue make this memoir a joy to read, at once hilarious and wise, cynical and touching, realistic and hope filled.” —Betsy Burton, The King’s English Bookshop, Salt Lake City, UT

MASS MARKETAnother Indie FavoriteGhana Must Go: A Novel, by Taiye Selasi (Penguin Books, $16) “Readers know when they are in the presence of something special and brilliant. It is a voice familiar and kind, a plot careful and unraveling, a set of characters whose hearts pound between the covers. Selasi delivers a powerful debut about family, race, and the nature of story in this contemporary novel, set in neighborhoods from Brookline, Massachusetts, to Lagos, Nigeria. A literary descendant of Zadie Smith and Arundhati Roy, Selasi is a new force in the global community of readers.” —Nicole Magistro, The Bookworm of Edwards, Edwards, CO

cross between K

yx has been brought up know

ing she has to marry a dem

on to avenge her m

ever, the more the reader thinks

they have things figured out, the more the

story twists and turns into som
