11 New Book Recommendations

January has brought several satisfying novels, including three noteworthy debuts by women writers, as well as some meaty nonfiction, including a book about American opposition to the country's entry into the First World War; a new look at the Holocaust; and a history of Siberian exile under the czars. There is also a very strong third book by the Booker Prize-winning author Aravind Adiga. It's about cricket, but don't let that deter you. This smart and funny novel out of contemporary India is about a whole lot more.
