What's new on the TBR pile this week:
The Covenant, by Naomi Ragen, a novel about a woman living in Jerusalem whose husband and daughter go missing amidst the violence in Israel. I picked this up in Salem over the weekend and it looks like a great read.

Sweet and Low, by Rich Cohen, about the family behind the artificial sweetener. I've been meaning to pick this up for a long time and I think it will make an interesting bookend to Mort Zachter's
Dough. My review of
Dough is coming up next week.

Finally,
Bonjour Tristesse, a slim little slip of a
roman, by Francoise Sagan. The book is an icon of French
ennui and ideally I would spend the afternoon with it in a sidewalk cafe whilst pretending to be very chic and continental. Today however, I will be waiting on an insurance adjuster coming to survey water damage to my living room. How glam.
Where does this Friday find you?

I forgot about *Sweet and Low*! I had it on my wish list for a while, but it must have cycled off. I'm interested to see how you like it.
