Chris Bohjalian writes historical and contemporary fiction in which an ordinary person's decision often becomes entangled with a larger medical, legal or historical crisis. Midwives is narrated by the daughter of a Vermont midwife whose actions during a difficult home birth lead to a criminal trial. The Sandcastle Girls moves between the Armenian genocide and a later American descendant uncovering family history, while The Flight Attendant begins when a cabin crew member wakes beside a dead man after a night she cannot fully remember. Bohjalian's novels vary widely in genre but tend to be character-led and tightly researched, using ethical uncertainty and hidden information to drive the plot. His work spans historical fiction, domestic suspense and medical or legal drama. Read more Less
