Best of 2010 - Fiction NOOKbooks

In a year that produced an embarrassment of riches, our list of the season's best fiction runs the gamut from deft literary thrillers to sprawling family sagas and genre gems. Outstanding picks include Tana French's atmospheric crime novel Faithful Place; Great House, a dazzling novel of memory and history by Nicole Krauss; and Matterhorn, Karl Marlantes "novelized" account of his experiences in Vietnam. Add to the mix dazzling works from literary powerhouses like Jonathan Franzen, David Grossman, and Gary Shteyngart, and you begin to understand why we consider 2010 a banner year!
