T Kira Madden recommends
Her Kind (2026)
Sophie Lefens
"Sophie Lefens's voice is blazingly original, her debut, an irresistible premise at the outset that will keep you rapt and enamored of its characters - each brimming with heart and mystery. The seasons of Her Kind are all-consuming; you'll live inside the weather of this novel, the steady and cornucopian turn of nature. Sacred, too, is the mystical and the animal, the gentle wisdom of their dimensions. Her Kind is a poignant and revelatory meditation on motherhood, womanhood, and the friendships that sustain both. This novel will nourish, inspire, and console you - you'll want to stay in it as long as you can."
Tailbone (2026)
Che Yeun
"A gripping coming of age tale as savage as it is astounding, Tailbone seduces one first with voice, then swells and electrifies from within the storied walls of the Seoul boarding house in which anything is possible. Tailbone introduces Che Yeun as one of the absolute greats, an extraordinary stylist and singular storyteller of our time."
Hemlock (2026)
Melissa Faliveno
"Utterly entrancing, Hemlock captures the insularity and expansiveness of the psyche in isolation, not unlike the teeming abundance of the forest kingdom. Here in the Northwoods, the trees close in sounding more and more like water; animals speak in words; what is human might become earthly - the earthly, supernatural. With stunning and gothic prose, in the vein of Carson McCullers, Melissa Faliveno's debut novel reveals the world anew and, in doing so, summons within readers a revelatory sense of presence, myth, and haunting."
