5 Books You Won't Be Able To Put Down This September

Alice Hoffman is one of the most prolific and moving writers of our time, and her latest release is a spellbinding meditation on loss, grief, and the strength of humanity. The book begins in Nazi Germany, when a mother sends her 12-year-old daughter away so that she may have a chance of surviving the war. With just the right amount of Hoffman's signature magical realism to give the story an air of a fairytale (a gnome-like "golem" is created to watch over the girl), this is still a book grounded in the realities of motherly love, what it means to be good and evil, and how to grow up in a time of turmoil. Riveting, with more than a few tears.The World That We Knew: A Novelby Alice Hoffman (September 24)
