Lauren Grodstein recommends
The Shock of the Light (2026)
Lori Inglis Hall
"A beautifully constructed and profoundly moving portrait of a brother and sister separated by the secrets of war, The Shock of the Light is an astonishing achievement."
Thorn Tree (2024)
Max Ludington
"Telling a story of crime and heartbreak in the American west, Thorn Tree is about everything that truly matters: art, family, and especially love. Ludington's novel is hard to put down and impossible to forget."
Hush Harbor (2023)
Anise Vance
"A tension wire crackling with electricity, Hush Harbor dazzles with incredible writing and boils with righteous fury. I could not stop reading."
