Dagmara Dominczyk's Lullaby of Polish Girls
Like one of her three Polish Girl characters referenced by the title, Dominczyk is actually an actress (who attended CMU!) (and who is married to Patrick Wilson!), but let me say that this novel is not just good-for-an-actress, but an actual good novel. If you hadn't already guessed, it's about three Polish girls--Anna, the actress, who was mostly raised in new York; Kamila, who's just found out her husband is gay; and Justyna, whose husband was just murdered by her sister's abusive boyfriend. But really it's about the girls and their complicated friendships over the years. I liked this a lot and thought the writing was really strong--it has a ring of truth to an almost depressing level. But I mean that in the best possible way. A-/B+.
