I'm looking for a novel for our book club to discuss. Can be a secular book, but with Jewish themes. Actually, we'd prefer a secular book Smile

Thanks!

(Anon, since I discussed irl)

Would Lincoln in the Bardo be too intense?

Some books I've enjoyed lately:
Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi
The Journey Home by Olaf Olaffson
Hunger by Roxane Gay
Old Filth by Jane Gardam

I'm not familiar with any of these - do any have a Jewish theme?

The Guilded Years by Karin Tanabe, it doesn't have a Jewish theme though

Sorry, I thought when you said a secular book you meant without a Jewish theme.

For recent books, Rachel Kadish, The Weight of Ink
Dara Horn has written a few good Jewish themed books, but I haven't read the most recent one, Eternal Life.
Helene Wecker, The Golem and the Jinni
(Memoir) Stephen Dubner Choosing my Religion
