Susanna Moore
Susanna Moore’s novel The Life of Objects (Random House, $25.00) moves from the prelude to World War II in Germany to the terrible devastation of the war years. The only child of shopkeepers in a small Irish village, Beatrice escapes the dreariness of everyday life by reading and perfecting her skill as a lace maker. When a countess invites the girl to live in Berlin, little does Beatrice know that she and her hosts are about to become embroiled in the grim reality of the rise and fall of the Nazi regime. Moore is the author of six other novels including The Big Girls, One Last Look, and In the Cut (adapted into a film starring Mark Ruffalo and Meg Ryan).
