Resources management librarian Stephen Schmidt recommends two notable books this year from established British novelists who seem to have found their footing once again. Ian McEwan and Martin Amis are old masters at the game. But their past few novels have left something to be desired. Not so this year. McEwan's "The Children Act" is an engaging novel about the private sorrows and life-or-death decisions faced by British High Court judge Fiona Maye . While dealing with her husband's infidelity she also is forced to decide the fate of a teenage Jehovah's Witness. He needs a blood transfusion or he'll die, but his faith and his parents are preventing him from having it. This is another classic McEwan story of reason and science over religion.
This is a novel but it would be cool to read
