Hour of the witch
by Chris Bohjalian
A resourceful Puritan woman in 1662 Boston plots to escape a violent marriage only to find herself targeted by her disapproving and superstitious neighbors for failing to save a child’s life
THIS IS BOJALIAN'S LATEST BOOK. I HAVE ALREADY READ IT, AND I WISH I HAD NOT...SO I COULD DISCOVER IT AGAIN!

The red lotus : a novel
by Chris Bohjalian
Falling in love with a wounded former patient and accompanying him on a cycling trip to Vietnam, an emergency-room doctor uncovers a bizarre series of deceptions that culminate in her boyfriend’s unexplained disappearance.
THIS ONE CAME OUT LAST MARCH, JUST AS THE COUNTRY WAS SHUTTING DOWN BECAUSE OF AN ALARMING VIRUS SPREADING ACROSS THE GLOBE. READ IT NOW, WITH A LITTLE PERSPECTIVE, AND SEE IF IT IS STILL NOT JUST AS CHILLINGLY PRESCIENT!

The flight attendant : a novel
by Chris Bohjalian
A binge-drinking flight attendant wakes up in an unfamiliar hotel room beside a dead body and sneaks back to her work, telling a series of lies that complicate her ability to figure out what really happened.
ANOTHER ONE I LOVED. IT WAS RECENTLY MADE INTO AN HBO SERIES, BUT, AS I ALWAYS SAY (OR USUALLY SAY) THE BOOK IS BETTER! COME IN AND ASK ME WHAT MOVIE I THINK LIVED UP TO THE PROMISE OF THE BOOK ON WHICH IT WAS BASED.

The light in the ruins : a novel
by Chris Bohjalian
Hoping to safeguard themselves from the ravages of World War II within the walls of their ancient villa in Florence, the noble Rosatis family become prisoners in their home when 18-year-old Cristina's courtship by a German lieutenant prompts the Nazis to take over the estate, a situation that leads to a serial murder investigation years later.
THE FIRST OF BOHJALIAN'S BOOKS I READ. IT STARTED MY QUEST TO READ ANY BOOKS SET IN ITALY AND ANY BOOKS BY THIS AUTHOR.
