This one sounds excellent. I'm going to put it on reserve at library. Is it a Booker nominee? I'm not sure how that works, and I couldn't tell from the original post. I've been going around recommending Recovering Charles to all my reading friends. (I actually, sadly, have some friends who are not...) It's by New York Times best-selling author Jason Wright. It's a really beautiful, well-written story about personal redemption set in the context of a physical recovery. Great, great read.
