Margaret Atwood recommends
Mrs. Gulliver (2024)
Valerie Martin
"Few have written so surprisingly, so convincinglyas Valerie Martin about sexual obsession and the perverse twistings of the human heart."
Held (2023)
Anne Michaels
"Anne Michaels's compelling novel, Held, couldn't be more timely: war and its damages, passed through generations over a century. Through luminous moments of chance, change, and even grace, Michaels shows us our humanity - its depths and shadows."
