MASS MARKETAnother Indie FavoriteCapital: A Novel, by John Lanchester (Norton, $15.95) “Capital begins with the households of London’s Pepys Road each receiving a card that states, ‘We want what you have.’ Those menacing and mysterious notes are the jumping off point for Lanchester’s brilliant exploration of modern London. From the financial trader in the midst of growing midlife and career crises, to the Pakistani family struggling with faith and family, to a dying woman and her street artist son, Lanchester effortlessly weaves myriad stories into brief chapters to create a written tapestry of remarkable color and depth.” —Catherine Weller, Weller Book Works, Salt Lake City, UT
