The Believers
 
This is a comic, tragic, supremely entertaining novel about one family's struggles with the consolations of faith and the trials of doubt. When Audrey makes a devastating discovery about her husband, New York radical lawyer Joel Litvinoff, she is forced to re-examine everything she thought she knew about their 40-year marriage. Joel's children will soon have to come to terms with this unsettling secret themselves, but for the meantime, they are trying to cope with their own dilemmas. Rosa, a disillusioned revolutionary, is grappling with a new-found attachment to Orthodox Judaism. Karla, an unhappily married social worker, is falling in love with an unlikely suitor at the hospital where she works. Adopted brother Lenny is back on drugs again. In the course of battling their own demons and each other, every member of the family is called upon to decide what - if anything - they still believe in.

Notes on a Scandal
 
A dark study of obsession, Notes On A Scandal tells the story of Sheba, a new teacher at a secondary school, who begins an illicit affair with a 15-year-old student. There to pick up the pieces when it all goes horribly wrong is the unreliable narrator Barbara, Sheba's colleague who is battling with her own personal demons. 'Notes on a Scandal finds an elegant balance between dark comedy and tragedy, and concludes on a satisfyingly sinister note.' The Guardian
