Tam, I have two Suns sitting here that I really want to read -- but I keep reading books instead --you and I have the opposite problem, it seems. :)
Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Strout
Interesting -- sort of a collection of short stories -- but the same person, Olive Kitteridge, appears in all of them, at various points in her own life, whether as the/a main character, or someone briefly glimpsed and discussed in the audience at a play. 270 pages
Mudbound by Hilary Jordan
Wow -- this was a pretty intense one. Set in the Jim Crow south after WWII. Main characters are two white brothers (the younger has just returned from the war, the older owns a farm and lives there with his wife), their father, the wife, a black couple who are their tenants on the farm and their son who has just returned from the war. Each chapter is told by one of these characters. 324 pages.
