Bonnie Jo Campbell recommends

The Weight of Him (2017)
Ethel Rohan
"How can a story about death be so life affirming? Ethel Rohan's compassionate debut novel is sad, heartbreaking even, but also uplifting, a celebration of the determination to keep on trying."

The Wildlands (2018)
Abby Geni
"Every scene of this cleverly plotted novel is drawn with complex prose, rich detail, and an authorial voice that wisely observes the human animal. Abby Geni is my new favorite writer."
