Barbara Kingsolver recommends
Soldier Sailor (2023)
Claire Kilroy
"Kilroy packs a stunning worldly wisdom into her beautiful prose."
At the Edge of the Haight (2021)
Katherine Seligman
"What a read this is, right from its startling opening scene. But even more than plot, it’s the richly layered details that drive home a lightning bolt of empathy. To read At the Edge of the Haight is to live inside the everyday terror and longings of a world that most of us manage not to see, even if we walk past it on sidewalks every day. At a time when more Americans than ever find themselves at the edge of homelessness, this book couldn’t be more timely."
Outside Looking In (2019)
T C Boyle
"Boyle is a writer who chooses a large canvas and fills it to the edges."
The Overstory (2018)
Richard Powers
"Monumental…The Overstory accomplishes what few living writers from either camp, art or science, could attempt. Using the tools of the story, he pulls readers heart-first into a perspective so much longer-lived and more subtly developed than the human purview that we gain glimpses of a vast, primordial sensibility, while watching our own kind get whittled down to size....A gigantic fable of genuine truths."
The Girl Who Fell from the Sky (2010)
Heidi W Durrow
"A breathless telling of a tale we've never heard before. Haunting and lovely, pitch-perfect, this book could not be more lovely."
