In times of crisis, people have always looked to the words of a leader -- political, religious, familial -- for comfort. In Paulo Coelho's Manuscript Found in Accra, for the people of Jerusalem on the eve of a great battle in July 1099, those words come from a mysterious figure called the Copt.

Anthony Marra’s powerful debut novel, A Constellation of Vital Phenomena, is the story of the fallout following a father’s disappearance during the Second Chechen War.
