Hello,
This week we cover twenty-two new and notable books, eight below and the rest on BookBrowse. They include The Sentence, a new novel from Louise Erdrich set in Birchbark Books, her Minneapolis-based bookstore; a modern-day thriller from Ken Follett; and nine works of nonfiction including The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity by David Graeber and David Wengrow which offers "a history of the past 30,000 years that is not only wildly different from anything we're used to, but also far more interesting: textured, surprising, paradoxical, inspiring (The Atlantic).
Until next week,
Yours,
Davina Morgan-Witts
