My Sister’s Keeper by Jodi Picoult, 2009. Good, but hard to hear about the medical stuff. Believable characters. Didn’t like the ending, needlessly melodramatic, but the book is worth reading.

The Past is a Foreign Country by Gianrico Carofiglio, 2010. I have really liked his other 3 books, mysteries set in Italy, this one is different. A bit dry, hard to connect with the main character, but it’s good.

The Good Parents: A Novel, 2009, by Joan London is good. Nearly finished it, Australian writer. Moves around in time in the lives of a family of characters. She writes well.
