There are Rivers in the Sky (2024)
Elif Shafak
"An odyssey, an epic, a lament, and a tale of redemption, There Are Rivers in the Sky is a clarion call to honor the elemental forces that shape our memories, our histories, and our world. In short, a masterpiece."

Signal Fires (2022)
Dani Shapiro
"Signal Fires is an urgent and compassionate meditation on memory, time, and space. Shapiro has created a world that's as wrenching as it is wondrous."

The Complicities (2022)
Stacey D'Erasmo
"The Complicities is a subtle masterpiece. Imagine a voice - lyrical and low, intimate and insistent - whispering in your ear. Half-told truths simmer below the surface, like the uneasy murmuring of a conscience. Mesmerized, you listen. There is menace here in D'Erasmo's disquieted world, and terrible beauty, too. Things are not what they appear to be. We are not who we think we are, either, and yet we are complicit."
