10. This Is the Honey, edited by Kwame Alexander
In The Women, a student joins the Army Nursing Corps during the Vietnam War. From Stephanie Merry in The Washington Post: "Why am I doing this to myself? The thought occurred to me as I reached the bottom of Page 20 in Kristin Hannah’s new novel, The Women. Barely three chapters in, and already protagonist Frankie McGrath was learning that her charming, mischievous older brother had been killed in action in Vietnam. 'Shot down … in a helicopter … No remains … all hands lost.' If you’ve read Hannah’s historical novels, you know that this development will be but one snowflake in a blizzard of tear-jerking tragedy that will inundate you over the next 450 pages."

10. This Other Eden, by Paul Harding
This Other Eden quietly amassed 12 raves and one mixed review on BookMarks, but didn't seem to take off until the book was shortlisted for the National Book Award and Booker Prize. From the publisher: "In 1792, formerly enslaved Benjamin Honey and his Irish wife, Patience, discover an island where they can make a life together. Over a century later, the Honeys’ descendants and a diverse group of neighbors are desperately poor, isolated, and often hungry, but nevertheless protected from the hostility awaiting them on the mainland." From Claire Messud in Harpers: "This Other Eden is beautiful and agonizing - rather like the real place that inspired it."
