Spring is in the air (well, almost, anyway) and a new crop of books has just arrived. Here are some of the Monitor book critics' favorite March picks.
British novelist Helen Oyeyemi ("Mr. Fox") enchants with her retelling of the Snow White story, this time set in 1950s New England. Questions of race and identity are woven throughout the novel, but in the end it's the beauty of Oyeyemi's language and the subtle intelligence of her characters that will keep readers turning pages. You can see the Monitor's full review of "Boy, Snow, Bird" here.
