Here are five new novels with strong female characters and stories to match. ( Little, Brown ) The Island of Sea Women, Lisa See. Adèle is a character study of a Paris journalist with a seemingly enviable life – surgeon husband, young son, elegant Paris apartment. And yet Adèle, bored by her bourgeois existence, endangers everything because of her attraction to sex with strangers and acquaintances. Delicious prose and a story about a real society that at times reads like a masterwork of speculative fiction.
