Camy's suggestions

The Republic of Suffering by Drew Gilpin Faust (hc). The impact of the Civil War's enormous death toll, by the new president of Harvard.

Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen (pb). A young man -- and an elephant -- save a Depression era circus. Many friends have recommended this book to me.

Song Yet Sung by James McBride (hc). Set in Maryland's Eastern Shore, slaves escape on the Underground Railroad. Strong review in 3/2 NYT Book Review. -- Camy
