Amity Gaige recommends
Someone Else's Husband (2026)
Kimberly McCreight
"Kimberly McCreight's new stunner Someone Else's Husband takes readers from the peaks of Mt. Kilimanjaro to the streets of Soho and finally to the most mysterious place of all - the human heart. I was seduced by each character and knocked sideways by each betrayal. McCreight's talent is boundless."
What Kind of Paradise (2025)
Janelle Brown
"Sinuous, intensely satisfying, spectacular . . . Janelle Brown's new novel is a complete knockout. Written in her characteristically hypnotic scenes, What Kind of Paradise should be required reading for anyone with qualms about extremism or Big Tech."
Last House (2024)
Jessica Shattuck
"Last House soars, sweeping us through the 1960s to the near future, and following the river of oil that influences American policy. But the novel's great beating heart is the particularities of the lives of two captivating women - one bound by social mores, the other trying to dismantle them. The sublime ending touched me to my core."
