Andrea Barrett recommends
The History of Sound (2024)
Ben Shattuck
"Beautifully constructed, emotionally resonant, and richly rooted in the natural world, these stories chime memorably through time and space."
Wine People (2023)
Michelle Wildgen
"Wildgen beautifully captures the shifting feelings and perspectives of a long friendship evolving over time, even as she illuminates a little-known corner of wine culture. An intriguing read!"
Reproduction (2023)
Louisa Hall
"What a brilliant novel! I was moved, troubled, enchanted; hardly able to breathe as I read. Hall's dazzling and original tale has the force of myth, embodying the monstrous challenges of reproducing in our strange new world."
