Four novels to look forward to in March. “A Garden Above the Elbe” tells the true story of Else Hoffa, who created the Warburg family's famous garden in Hamburg.

Amelie Fried's latest novel, “The Longest Summer of Her Life,” is now available. Doris Dörrie's "The Goddess Rice and other souvenirs" is a mix of useful things, exotic foods, magical utensils and dust collectors that collectors say are magical.
