10 best books of June: the Monitor's picks

Here are some of the new June book releases that the Monitor's book critics liked best.

4. "Price of Fame: The Honorable Clare Boothe Luce," by Sylvia Jukes Morris

The most exceptional thing about the second volume of Sylvia Jukes Morris's biography of Clare Booth Luce is its attention to the detail – and scope – that its subject demands. After all, Luce was one of the 20th century's great multi-taskers: playwright, congresswoman, convert to Catholicism, and more. Morris captures it all and offers an engaging read.
