I love books with multiple narrators too! Great choices! I love My Sister's Keeper and thought the way they implemented so many voices was so cool! Testimony is a great book too! I'll have to check out your other choices. :)
ReplyDeleteI need to read TGLAPPPS!
ReplyDeleteI've only read two of these book, Marce. I like multiple narrators too if it is done well. Gives the reader a broader sense of the plot I think.
ReplyDeleteThe 2 I have on my Wishlist from reccomendations are: East by Edith Pattou and Fingersmith by Sarah Waters.
ReplyDeleteI've read three of them and agree! I am currently in the middle of Heather G's These Things Hidden with multiple narrators and it is very good. I also enjoyed The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova.
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw the title I immediately thought of The Guernsey Literary Potato Peel Pie Society. Glad to see it's on your list! This sounds like a fun meme; I'll definitely have to check it out!
ReplyDeleteHope you check out my giveaway and enter if you're interested.

I've read all of those books except The Weight of Silence and agree with you on each of them. Tomato Girl is one book in particular that I wish had gotten more attention.
ReplyDeleteI am particularly interested in Tomato Girl. That one looks so interesting!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for joining up! I hope to see you again!
Tomato Girl was one of my favorites as well! Sadly, I could not read Testimony...gave up after the first chapter. I've not read the others so I will add them to my list.
ReplyDeleteHappy Reading~
I have read all but Tomato Girl - just read your review now and will go borrow it!
ReplyDeleteI read all of the picks you have except for Anita Shreve's, but I have to say my favorite from your picks is The Guersney Literary and Potato Peel Society! It had perfect narration.
ReplyDeleteI have read two of these books and own another. I did just add Tomato Girl after reading you liked it so well. Great list!
ReplyDeleteI totally enjoy multiple narrators as well! I have Guernsey on my shelf and I'm hoping to read it this year!
ReplyDeleteI've only read My Sister's Keeper. I enjoy mulitple narrators just as along as its not TOO heavy handed like some of Picoult's can be. If you are going to be a narrator, then you need to have an important part of the story, you know? Picoult sometimes will build mulitple narrators almost because she likes to flesh out characters even though their details mean nothing to the story. Just my two cents!!
ReplyDeleteThe only one of these I haven't read is The Potato Peel Society but I will one day since so many have loved it. The others though I really loved. Have you ever read anything by Sarah Addison Allen? She's a fantastic writer!
