Manette Ansay
(A Manette Ansay)
(b.1964)A. Manette Ansay's first novel, Vinegar Hill, established the writer as a novelist who could tell a difficult story with great grace. Ansay's honest, moving fiction is infused with the reality of Midwestern farm life, the constraints of Roman Catholicism, and the toll the combination can take on women and men alike.

Manette Ansay recommends
An Unlasting Home (2022)
Mai Al-Nakib
"A spellbinding family history unfolds as a Kuwaiti woman goes on trial for blasphemy in a world gone mad. Deftly written, structurally brilliant, Mai Al-Nakib's An Unlasting Home is a lasting novel that splits open time, leaps across continents, and creates the sort of characters we carry forward into our hearts and lives. I absolutely loved this book."
The Burning Veil (2010)
Jean Grant
"I read The Burning Veil in two sittings, compelled to swallow pages as quickly as possible, even as I longed to linger - and often did - over richly-rendered details about day to day life in Saudi Arabia. Jean Grant's contemporary love story about cultural collision vying against our shared human longing for connection left me deeply moved, and at times, deeply melancholy, as religious fundamentalism gains strength in the U.S. and around the world. A powerful and important first novel."
Everything Asian (2009)
Sung J Woo
"A tender, funny, beautifully written novel-in-stories, each a sparkling step into the coming-of-age journey of a boy straddling two cultures with remarkable humor and grace."
