FICTION NONFICTION Indie Bestsellers Paperback Week of 01.23.19 MASS MARKET ★ Another Indie Favorite Eternal Life: A Novel, by Dara Horn (W.W. Norton & Company, $15.95) “Eternal Life is a stunningly moving and lively investigation of mortality. It is also a story of profound love—young love, eternal love, and the love of parents for their children. Rachel, whose inability to die animates the plot, is a strong, willful, and complex woman. Dara Horn, whom I have long admired, infuses the book with her profound knowledge of Judaism, without ever becoming dull or didactic. This is an ode to the joys, sorrows, and brevity of existence as seen through the improbable lens of eternal life—and it made me cry! Highly recommended.” —Lilla Weinberger, Readers’ Books, Sonoma, CA 1. The Rooster Bar John Grisham, Dell, $9.99 2. The Couple Next Door Shari Lapena, Penguin, $9.99 3.
