Canticle (2025)
Janet Rich Edwards
"Canticle is a ferocious fever dream of a novel brimming with love, sisterhood, sacrifice, and lyric delight. As we watch young Aleys attempt to forge a sacred life, she is thrown from belonging to isolation to the pyre, raising questions that strike closest to the bone: What is a miracle? Who gets to decide? And in the end, what does the world really want from us?"
House of Caravans (2023)
Shilpi Suneja
"Straddling two critical time periods of great violence and change on a global scale, Suneja's novel weaves an intimate tale of two brothers - both brimming with regret, prejudice, sweetness and sorrow - as deftly as a spinner with golden thread. I can't even begin to fully convey the complexities of this book - its richness, its tenderness, its intelligence - all in a story that pulls you into Suneja's dreamy imagination. This is a novel that will make you marvel, think, and finally, break your heart."
The House in the Orchard (2022)
Elizabeth Brooks
"Like McEwan's Atonement, Elizabeth Brooks delivers a twisty tale which proves deadly when innocence collides with an antiquated world of manners and class."
