There's an Amazon page for the mystery book -- identified, for now, only as "Oprah Book Club #62 (Hardcover)."
We know that this book was published by HarperCollins, and that it's a $25.95 hardcover. Given that it's only in hardcover, that implies that it's a quite recent book...or that Harper hasn't gotten their paperback ISBN onto Amazon yet.
Using Amazon's search function, I pulled up a list of $25.95 Harper hardcovers that could possibly be the Oprah pick:
- Doris Lessing's Alfred and Emily
- Matilde Ansensi's Everything Under the Sky
- Frances DePontes Peebles's The Seamstress
- Jennifer Haigh's The Condition
- Sichan Siv's Golden Bones
- Philip Margolin's Executive Privilege
- Louise Erdrich's The Plague of Doves
- William Dietrich's The Rosetta Key
- Lisa Scottoline's Lady Killer
- Elizabeth Peters's Laughter of Dead Kings
- Faye Kellerman's The Mercedes Coffin
- J.A. Jance's Damage Control
- David Giffels's All the Way Home
- Dale Brown's Shadow Command
- Andrew Gross's The Dark Tide
- James Morrow's The Philosopher's Apprentice (would that we all could be so lucky)
- Jeffrey Ford's The Shadow Year (ditto)
Several Eos books -- Wrath of a Mad God, The Twisted Citadel, Passage, The Divine Talisman, Hunter's Run -- fit the criteria, but I won't even pretend that they could be "#62."
But it's most likely The Story of Edgar Sawtelle, since that's already a runaway bestseller, and Oprah has been playing it safe with her recent picks.
