Other Indie FavoritesLongbourn: A Novel, by Jo Baker (Knopf, $25.95) ) “This is the very enjoyable ‘downstairs’ version of Pride and Prejudice—the lives of maids, housekeepers, and footmen at the Longbourn estate. Even Jane Austen herself would be enthralled with this tale filled with fully realized characters, a very romantic plot, and tantalizing glimpses of all our favorite literary figures. I savored each and every moment and I trust you will too!” —Mary Toni, R.J. Julia Booksellers, Madison, CT

The Paris Architect: A Novel, by Charles Belfoure (Sourcebooks Landmark, $25.99)“In 1942, the city of Paris was overrun by German soldiers and security troops who were on the lookout for Jews. There were some Parisians who wanted to hide the Jews, and some who wanted to turn them in. In the middle was Lucien Bernard, one of the few men capable of assisting either side if he so chose. Lucien was an architect who built secret hiding spaces for Jews in old homes. He was also short on cash and willing to risk his life for the city he loved. When something went terribly wrong, Lucien was forced to rethink his dedication and come up with a way to make amends in this powerful and gripping story.” —Linda Bond, Auntie’s Bookstore, Spokane, WA

Another Indie FavoriteConsider the Fork: A History of How We Cook and Eat, by Bee Wilson (Basic Books, $16) “Interest in the evolution of human food culture has always been popular. In Consider the Fork, Wilson invites readers to examine this evolution in a new light. She discusses the transformation of kitchen tools and utensils throughout human existence as well as the implications these transformations have on how humans cook and eat. Wilson’s air of curiosity and amusement makes for an enjoyable read, pots and pans have never been more interesting, and the intermingling of anthropology, history, and sociology is certain to spark further thought next time a spork or a blender is encountered.”—Lucy Beeching, Avid Bookshop, Athens, GA
