I really enjoyed The Poisonwood Bible. This new one sounds really great, as well.
"a compulsively readable story of two families, navigating what seems to be the end of the world as they know it. With history as their canvas, these characters paint a startlingly relevant portrait of life in precarious times when the foundations of the past have failed to prepare us for the future." Sounds pretty realistic now.
