Here are three candidates to consider if publication date does not matter:
"The House at Sugar Beach" by Helene Cooper (good for high school and
discussions)
"Olive Kitteridge" by Elizabeth Strout (short stories make this good for
discussion and high school)
"Cutting for Stone" by Abraham Verghese (superb reading; may be too
graphic for high school)
I look forward to learning abnout more good book recommendations when we
all get together!
