The Bureau of Unknown Fates (2026)
Gaëlle Nohant
"The Bureau of Unknown Fates is a compelling, evocative, and highly original novel. With haunting, graceful prose, Gaelle Nohant reveals the horrors of World War II through the deeply personal lens of Irene, who works for The International Tracing Service to return confiscated objects recovered from liberated camps to the families of their owners. Working tirelessly to uncover the histories behind the humblest items-a handkerchief, a locket, a battered puppet-Ir?ne becomes a catalyst of healing for the descendants of those lost during the war. While The Bureau of Unknown Fates does not shy away from the heart-rending darkness of the Holocaust it also shows us humanity at its best; the resolution of each case brought me to tears, as did Ir?ne's personal journey. Most important, Nohant reminds us of the duty to remember, for in uncovering the stories of those we've lost, we honor them and make peace with the past. This is a meticulously researched novel with many layers that will stay with readers long after the final page. A must read!"
The Good Daughters (2025)
Brigitte Dale
"The Good Daughters is a poignant and utterly captivating debut inspired by the British suffragette movement. With elegant, lyrical prose, Brigitte Dale transports the reader to early twentieth-century England to tell the story of Charlotte, Emily, Bea, and Sadie - four young women from vastly different backgrounds who unite in purpose to fight for a common cause. A feminist tale of strength and sacrifice, The Good Daughters is at times heart-breaking, but Dale balances those moments with ones of tenderness, hope, and victory. Brava, Brigitte Dale, for writing this timely novel, a rousing debut that will motivate others for many years to come."
