This is a busy week in Harvard Square. The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, the grads are graduating, and the bookstore is bustling with people on the lookout for an early summer read. Scroll down for some great ideas on that front, from the year of the conquest to Tibetan peach pie.
Happy reading!

Carry the One:
A Novel
by Carol Anshaw
"This is the kind of book you'll read in 24 hours for the sheer joy of it. Carol Anshaw's characters are as real as any I've read; they respond to what happens the way people would: clumsily, painfully, and with surprising moments of humor and grace." --Serena L., Harvard Book Store
