Martha McPhee recommends

Mia (2026)
Leslie Bazzett
"Mia is a sharp, intimate novel - a warning against the seductions of self-reinvention and the cost of losing one's identity to another. Reading Mia feels like building a house of cards in open air: delicate, luminous, and doomed."

The Nine Lives of Rose Napolitano (2021)
Donna Freitas
"Donna Freitas brilliantly unfurls from every angle one of the most urgent questions of a woman’s life, motherhood, creating a dazzling kaleidoscope of love, pain and possibility. The Nine Lives of Rose Napolitano is a page-turner, a novel that is impossible to put down."

Astrid Sees All (2021)
Natalie Standiford
"Astrid Sees All zooms us back to the 1980s in the most delightful and nostalgic way: New York in all its craziness and magnetism is alive again through the clear-eyed observations and adventures of our witty and generous narrator."
