Amy Brill recommends
Because I Loved You (2023)
Donnaldson Brown
"The characters in this deeply moving, lushly imagined novel stayed with me long after I turned the last page. A novel of passion and place, ambition and expectation, Because I Loved You is a beautifully written story that speaks with equal tenderness to the wild abandon of young love and the awful heartbreak of dreams deferred. A gorgeous debut."
The Wild Hunt (2022)
Emma Seckel
"The Wild Hunt is a thriller, and a family drama; a mystery but also a romance; a war novel and a ghost story. It's a social commentary. It's a tear-jerker. I'm not sure how one novel can be all of these things, and also be gut-punchingly sad, beautifully written, and oddly hopeful, but it is. Evocative, haunting, and deeply compelling, The Wild Hunt weaves together the known and unknown worlds in pursuit of the answer to the most elusive of life's questions: how can life go on after devastating loss?"
