Audrey Niffenegger in The Guardian on Generosity

A number of writers wrote this past weekend in the Guardian about their favorite reads of the year. Audrey Niffenegger wrote this, including Generosity, among others:

My favourite book this year was The Little Stranger, by Sarah Waters. A middle-aged doctor gradually insinuates himself into the life of the Ayres family; they are the owners of a once stately, now crumbling but beautiful house, Hundreds Hall. Waters writes with great restraint and precision of how the house begins to turn on the family with poltergeistian aggression. It's a terrific consideration of the ravages of class in post-war Britain, and a ripping ghost story, too. Two other excellent books are On Monsters (OUP), by Stephen Asma, a very readable and surprising history of every sort of monster, from the Biblical to the biotechnical, and Generosity (Atlantic), by Richard Powers. Powers is one of the best writers working now, and Generosity is full of agile sentences and odd characters. It features a young woman who is always simply happy; this strikes all the other characters as being so unusual that she soon comes under the scrutiny of scientists and the media.
