Do you need book recommendations for this summer? The list below offers a variety of novels to choose from. For example, Dell’s Keeper of the Door is a love story about the obstacles and triumphs of relationships and the interactions between the heroine of the story and the “keeper of the door”–a physician who can, but will not, cause death to the sufferers. Or perhaps you are interested in a detective novel. Bonner’s Girl at “Central” describes a telephone operator who helps solve a murder.
