Patty Dann recommends
Heritage (2022)
Miguel Bonnefoy
"Miguel Bonnefoy's Heritage shimmers off the page. The reader is seduced by three generations of the remarkable Lonsonier family, whose tales of anguish and love are echoed in the enchanting aviary they create in their garden in the Andes. The luminous characters endure passion and heartbreak through two world wars and beyond, with a plot that moves back and forth across continents. Translated exquisitely into English with beauty and precision, Bonnefoy's bold and magical book is a triumph."
All the Children Are Home (2021)
Patry Francis
"Patry Francis has written a book with an explosion of remarkable voices. There are two hearts to the story - the wise and vulnerable children who survive and thrive in extraordinary circumstances and the foster mother who understands them in a way nobody else ever could. How Patry Francis stitches their lives together is a triumph."
