Half-Life of a Stolen Sister (2023)
Rachel Cantor
"Long a fan of Cantor's breathtaking synthesis of intellectual brilliance and rare compassion, I am gobsmacked by this novel, and by the steadily building power of what the author herself calls its 'eccentric form'. Playful, doleful, witty, tragic, loving; as a life is all of this at once, so is this magical volume. The Brontes deserve something extraordinary, and Rachel Cantor has given them - and us - exactly that. Brava!"
The Dreamers (2019)
Karen Thompson Walker
"What a book! I read The Dreamers in a dream of sorts myself, entirely transported into Karen Thompson Walker’s world of mysterious tragedy and infinite, if unexpected, compassion. This is a profound novel, and a deeply moving one. How she takes a terrifying situation and reveals it as a thing of beauty, a lesson in the human spirit, is a mystery to me, but she does exactly that, and fortunate readers will celebrate this extraordinary book."
Cruel Beautiful World (2016)
Caroline Leavitt
"Leavitt is a magician at creating unforgettable characters. A brave book, and a powerfully moving one."
