“‘The Candy House’ by Jennifer Egan. I loved ‘A Visit from the Goon Squad’ (Egan’s 2011 novel) and this book is just as good. Each chapter follows a new character who is somehow connected to a previous one. It is not only extremely entertaining, but also comments on modern-day topics like our virtual lives and collective and personal memories. Highly recommend!” — ANNIE CUTLER, who sent her selection last summer with this address: “i technically live in burlington vermont but am in south portland for the summer with my parents :)”
