Here are the three books in the running:
Dinosaurs by Lydia Millet, "stone-cold genius" (Jenny Offill) and author of the award-finalist A Children's Bible. Her exquisite new novel is the story of a man named Gil who walks from New York to Arizona to recover from a failed love.
The Marriage Portrait by Maggie O'Farrell, author of Hamnet, brings the world of Renaissance Italy to jewel-bright life in this unforgettable fictional portrait of the captivating young duchess Lucrezia de' Medici as she makes her way in a troubled court. "You may know the history, and you may think you know what’s coming, but don’t be so sure. O’Farrell and Lucrezia, with her 'crystalline, righteous anger,' will always be one step ahead of you." --Ron Charles, Washington Post
The Book of Goose by Yiyun Li is the story of the intimate friendship of two girls in a war-ravaged, provincial town in France. Fabienne and Agnès built a private world, invisible to everyone but themselves--until Fabienne hatched the plan that would change everything, launching Agnès on an epic trajectory through fame, fortune, and terrible loss.
