Sometimes a book is too good to just hide down in the column on the right. Barbara Kingsolver's novel Unsheltered is one such book.
Unsheltered is about a middle-class family in contemporary New Jersey, and people in the same town—what was a utopian community—a century earlier. And about the startling human tendency to be blind to truth when the truth is unsavory. Compelling characters. Great intelligence. Humor. Writing so good it’s invisible. There are even hard-won artistic flourishes to ice the cake. A deeply satisfying delve into human psychology, and fiendishly clever at drawing parallels between past and present. This is a work of art. (From personal taste, and my extremely limited viewpoint) it seems a novel of the decade.
American and British publishers often take a different approach to a book cover.

Left is the US Harper cover. Yes, you can go that way, but to me it misses something in scope and tone. Right is the UK Faber & Faber cover, which feels closer to the book in theme, mood, weight.
