If you're intrigued by the success of E.L. James's "Fifty Shades of Grey" trilogy (currently at #1, 2 and 3 in the NY Times bestseller lists), you might be interested in this Publishers Weekly article which puts the series into the context of the wider book market:
When I was browsing in our local independent bookstore recently I happened to see a weighty edition of Louisa May Alcott's Little Women on the shelf in the children's classics section, and I grabbed it. It's on my list of parenting imperatives, of books I absolutely must read my daughters, and since Poppy is almost ten, I figure it's high time for Little Women.
If you're looking for a great read (and let's face it, aren't we always!) I'm sure you'll find something to catch your eye among these nine debut novels publishing in May, which we've selected from the more than eighty notable May books we've previewed (members can view the full list here).
Enjoy!
