Kim Echlin recommends
Mistress of the Persian Boarding House (2026)
Marina Nemat
"The question is how to live with grace in a world of torment. I was enchanted by Nemat's characters, who manage to create family and love in the loss and alienation of exile. Set in Iran and Russia, this timely novel gives us insight into turbulent politics and how women survive. It is a history of the soul in miniature. It is a beautiful read."
We Were the Bullfighters (2024)
Marianne K Miller
"Miller's expertise on Hemingway and her penetrating observations about our responsibilities to our talents makes this a must-read historical fiction in which 'artists are like convict' and people choose what they will sacrifice for freedom."
The Singing Forest (2021)
Judith McCormack
"The Kurapaty mass grave near Minsk, Belarus, was used to hide the bodies of thousands murdered by Stalin’s secret police from 1937 to 1941. This novel of witness tells the story of the prosecution of a war criminal hiding in Canada. There is self-discovery. There is torture and false confession. There are affidavits and dark nights of the soul. There is Leah’s painful search for witnesses driven by her 'damaged, obstinate heart.' And searingly, as McCormack writes, there are the voices of the dead who cry out, 'We are here. We are waiting.' Know this history through your heart, through the empathetic imagination of McCormack’s fiction."
