Elisabeth de Mariaffi recommends

The Guest Children (2025)
Patrick Tarr
"The Guest Children delivers all the pleasures of a war time ghost story--missing children, a mysterious inn, closely-guarded secrets, and a man with a haunted past set to solve it all--but then goes one step further to upend your expectations, leaving you to turn the pages faster and faster, far into the night. It is a lush, visual haunting that will get into your bones--and your dreams."

The Raw Light of Morning (2022)
Shelly Kawaja
"An unflinching look at trauma and the silence that follows, The Raw Light of Morning is a coming-of-age story that defies false innocence, and tells the truth instead. Kawaja will leave you tender and bruised . . . but also hopeful. Just the book we need in these times."

Small Game Hunting at the Local Coward Gun Club (2019)
Megan Gail Coles
"Small Game Hunting is a singular, beautiful, burning story not only a piercing page-turner but a sharp and essential portrait of an island and its people in our times that will draw you in and then pull you under. It is an ocean of a book. Not to be missed."
