The Show Girl (2021)
Nicola Harrison
"In The Show Girl, author Nicola Harrison paints her characters with such a precise brush and sympathetic strokes that they live long after the last page."
Keeping Secrets (2021)
Bina Bernard
"In Bina Bernard’s stirring novel, Keeping Secrets, indelible scenes of loss, displacement and forgiveness unwind like a fever dream. A family that survives the Warsaw uprising and German occupation escapes to America, where they become obsessed with those they left behind. She is as unsparing in her descriptions of the horrors of World War II as she is when writing about love and courage and grace. In this rich novel, Bernard mines all of it with a deft hand and a warm heart."
Elsey Come Home (2019)
Susan Conley
"Susan Conley’s voice is so intimate and filled with such exquisite detail it was as if a friend was whispering Elsey Come Home in my ear. While Elsey is a character hemmed in by her own flaws and misgivings, her author is the opposite, showering us with emotional nuance and gorgeous writing that make this novel a showcase of modern domesticity with all its unpredictable complexities and triumphs. Anyone who has ever felt separate and finally comes together will find himself or herself in Elsey Come Home."
