Other Indie FavoritesThe Invention of Exile: A Novel, by Vanessa Manko (Penguin Press, $26.95) “Manko’s debut novel is the beautifully written story of Austin Voronkov, a Russian inventor who immigrates to the U.S., but, through a series of unfortunate events, finds himself to be a man without a country. Filled with poignant insights on what it means to belong, The Invention of Exile gives readers a sweeping, masterfully told story spanning continents and years, all expressed through the tender voice of this determined immigrant and engineer, who relentlessly works to reverse his fate and return home.” —Anderson McKean, Page & Palette, Fairhope, AL

Fives and Twenty-Fives: A Novel, by Michael Pitre (Bloomsbury, $27) “An unforgettable tale of war, Fives and Twenty-Fives tells the story of a Marine Corps engineering platoon assigned to the dangerous and unending task of repairing road damage caused by improvised explosives on Iraqi highways. The unit travels with a bomb disposal team because secondary explosives are nearly always found at every scene. Told through the flashbacks of Marines struggling to find their place back in the States, the incidents coalesce in a devastating story of heroism, sacrifice, and vulnerability. The author served as a captain in the Marines, and his story is both textured and emotionally searing.” —Mark LaFramboise, Politics and Prose Bookstore and Coffeehouse, Washington, DC

Another Indie FavoriteThe Thing About December: A Novel, by Donal Ryan (Steerforth Press, $15) “Pick this book up and what you’ll be holding is the quintessential Irish novel. It is both tragic and brilliant, rich with wit and humor, and full of true-to-life, complex characters who will leave indelible marks on your conscience. First and foremost, there is Johnsey Cunliffe, a sweet and simple soul who tolerates town bullies and schemers and strives to understand a cruel world that is beyond his comprehension. This novel is a shining example of literary fiction that resonates long after the last page is turned.” —Mary Toni, R.J. Julia Booksellers, Madison, CT
