Heavyweight

Ann Napolitano’s Hello Beautiful, the latest Oprah’s Book Club pick, had an unsurprisingly successful first week, hitting #2 on the adult fiction list and #8 overall. It’s the best first week showing of the past few Oprah picks, including one from bestselling heavyweight Barbara Kingsolver. Our review called Napolitano’s book a “striking story of four Chicago sisters and the young man who enters their lives.” The author, the review adds, “breathes great life into her characters, and brings insight into their quiet moments as they gradually come into their own.”
