Has anyone read Cutting for Stone and/or State of Wonder?


Recommended Posts

I really need a new, good book to read.

 

I've read State of Wonder (and a few other Ann Patchett novels) and Cutting for Stone and I'd like another book that is just as good.

 

If you read either of those books and loved them, what are some other books that you loved just as much (or more)?

Gone Girl, by Gillian Flynn

The Dovekeepers, by Alice Hoffman

The Kitchen House, by Kathleen Grissom

The Forgotten Garden, by Kate Morton

The House at Riverton, also by Kate Morton

Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet, by Jamie Ford

 

I found Cutting for Stone riveting, but don't know many people who have read it!

Agreeing with Hotel at the Corner of Bitter and Sweet

 

Lighter but enjoyable, The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie

 

I enjoyed Sarah's key, but read The Book Thief at the same time and it paled in comparison.

 

Also, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

Thanks, I haven't read any of those.

Thanks. I read Sarah's Key and The Book Thief at totally different times and enjoyed them both although it took me about a year to finally decide to read The Book Thief. I'd pick it up and read a couple of pages and then put it back down again.

 

I have read Alan Bradley's books, except for the last one. The other suggestions are books I've never heard of before. Thank you!
