Axar.az presents top 5 books to read in March created by BBC:

1.Cara Black, Murder on the Champ de Mars

Black’s delectable series about private investigator Aimée Leduc’s – there have been 14 books to date – take place in beautifully etched Parisian neighbourhoods. Her 15th is centred in the elegant seventh arondissement: “These streets sheltered enormous wealth, secret gardens and courtyards, the prime minister’s residence, seats of government and a few ancient convents.” It’s Easter 1999. As Aimée returns from maternity leave and learns to juggle being a single mother with running her detective agency, the father of her six-month-old daughter threatens to try and take custody. Meanwhile, a young Gypsy boy begs her to see his dying mother, who may know something about the death of Aimée’s father, killed in a bomb explosion in the Place Vendôme. Another smashing and suspenseful tale. (Soho Crime)

2.TC Boyle, The Harder They Come

Boyle is a genius at capturing social microcosms and excavating emotions simmering beneath the surface of contemporary America. His new novel (his 15th), inspired in part by a true-life California manhunt, is Boyle at his best, as he sends a troubled Mendocino County family into a violent tailspin. While on holiday in Costa Rica with his wife Carolee, a former Marine and retired school principal kills a man attempting to rob a tour bus. Back home, his paranoid schizophrenic 20-something son Adam is living in the woods, armed with his grandfather’s rifle at growing a crop of opium poppies. His older girlfriend is a right-wing anarchist whose attitudes have led her to be wanted by the police for a series of minor infractions that are building into serious trouble. A gripping and revelatory tale. (Ecco)

3.Kazuo Ishiguro, The Buried Giant

The seventh novel from Booker Prize-winning Ishiguro, the first in 10 years, is set in a barren post-Roman Britain, not long after the death of King Arthur. Axl and Beatrice, an older Briton couple, set out in search of a son they barely remember; indeed, the land seems buried in a mist of forgetfulness. “It's queer the way the world's forgetting people and things from only yesterday and the day before that,” Ishiguro writes. “Like a sickness come over us all." On their travels they encounter a Saxon warrior named Wistan, a young boy seeking his lost mother, the dragon Querig, whose breath has caused the widespread amnesia, an elderly Sir Gawain and other allegorical figures whose meanings coalesce slowly over time. Turning to historical fantasy is an intriguing choice for Ishiguro; his dreamlike narrative leads to a potent conclusion. (Knopf)

4.Edward Mendelson, Moral Agents

In essays adapted from The New York Review of Books, Mendelson creates a group portrait of eight writers whose lives as public intellectuals in the city shaped the 20th Century. He traces the influence of Lionel Trilling, whose The Liberal Imagination, published in 1950, “set the agenda for intellectual life” in the US; the critic Dwight Macdonald, whose magazine Politics had international influence; William Maxwell, the fiction editor who established The New Yorker style; Jewish émigré critic Alfred Kazin; novelist Saul Bellow; Norman Mailer, “the most celebrated and reviled American writer of his time”; and poets Frank O’Hara and WH Auden. Written with clarity and grace, these essays serve as an essential guide to an era when literary powerbrokers set the cultural agenda. (New York Review Books)

5.Hanya Yanagihara, A Little Life

In a breathtakingly intimate novel, Yanagihara (The People in the Trees) follows four college classmates for three decades after they move to New York City, find cheap apartments and take entry-level jobs. JB, who starts as a receptionist for a small SoHo magazine that covers the downtown art scene, builds a career from painting portraits of his friends. Malcolm, an architect, ultimately creates designs for the others’ apartments and houses. Willem becomes a film star. The most complex and powerful story belongs to Jude, a successful lawyer and Willem’s partner, whose traumatic secrets from his orphan childhood are revealed gradually, along with the extent of the damage to his mind and body. Yanagihara describes their interwoven hopes and dreams, tragedies and failures with a powerful intensity. (Doubleday)
