 The Middle Kingdom (1991) Andrea Barrett "An exhilerating book... wonderful insights... Ms. Barrett has captured a truly authentic Beijing." |  The Mistress of Spices (1997) Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni "A dazzling tale of misbegotten dreams and desires, woven with poetry and storyteller magic." |  Protect and Defend (2000) (Kerry Kilcannon, book 2) Richard North Patterson "An important novel on passion and politics... appeals to both the intellect and the heart. " | |
 The Namesake (2003) Jhumpa Lahiri "The kind of writer who makes you want to grab the next person and say 'Read this!'" |  Daughter's Keeper (2003) Ayelet Waldman "A powerhouse novel of complex emotions... so compelling that when I finished the book, I started over again." |  War Trash (2004) Ha Jin "I am enthralled by Ha Jin's work: he always presents moral conundrums within historical contexts; the frayed edges of humanity; the ways in which both the tenacious and hopeless survive. He is one of our most gifted and essential writers." | |
