I have read and reviewed more of Chris Bohjalian's books than any other author. Midwives, The Flight Attendant, The Plot, The Night Strangers, The Guest Room, and Hour of the Witch, just to name a few. Why? Because he's an excellent writer.
And he doesn't disappoint with his latest work, The Lioness (Doubleday, ISBN: 978-03855-4482-5).
