The Nigerwife (2023)
Vanessa Walters
"The Nigerwife is a dazzling exploration of deceptions--both intimate and internet--that keep the everyday afloat, and the pages turning, despite the weight of our deepest secrets, regrets, and devotions. I raced through this sumptuous, suspenseful, and smartly-layered book, and gasped at its fearless, soul-baring end."
The Two Lives of Sara (2022)
Catherine Adel West
"An utterly absorbing and dazzling novel about the stories we tell to stay alive and the secrets we keep to protect ourselves."
The Fortunes of Jaded Women (2022)
Carolyn Huynh
"Sharp, smart, and gloriously extra, The Fortunes of Jaded Women pays homage to the counterfeit-Louis-Vuitton queens of the Vietnamese diaspora and West Coast witches everywhere. I laughed out loud at the familiar stubbornness, the high- and low-stakes cutthroatedness of these complex and lovable mothers and daughters."
