Christine Pride recommends

Last Night Was Killer (2026)
Mary Pauline Lowry
"Last Night Was Killer somehow seamlessly combines a murder mystery, a terrorist plot, pole dancing, grief, motherhood, stand-up comedy and fighting the patriarchy into one utterly delightful page-turning story that is equal parts heart and laughs. That's truly some writerly magic, folks. Buckle up for a wild, laugh-out- loud, one-of-a-kind reading adventure (emphasis: adventure) that only the singular Mary Pauline Lowry could deliver."

The Good Parts (2026)
Evann Normandin
"What a complete gem this novel is. I became deeply, maybe even irrationally, invested in Landon and Rose's story; how it started, how it ended, everything that happened in between and what's next in their journey. Normandin has conjured a BIG love, conveyed in hundreds of small, beautiful moments. And the speculative angle - a most provocative what if? - had just the right light, intriguing touch. It was love at first read for me and The Good Parts, and I'm betting literary sparks will fly for many, many other readers, too."

Grown Women (2024)
Sarai Johnson
"I rooted hard for the women of this heartfelt novel - through their messy contradictions, their reckonings, their painful choices and their hard-won triumphs. Grown Women is a tender story about mothers and daughters and the ties that bind us, those gossamer threads that can be reinforced or broken so easily. But it's also a poignant testament to the joy and pain of being a grown woman."

A Great Country (2024)
Shilpi Somaya Gowda
"Shilpi has done it again with A Great Country-- a tender, multi-layered meditation on family and community and how we find our way to belonging in both. The novel is also a poignant reminder that politics (and social justice) is always personal. I know other readers will fall as hard for the Shah family as I did and be enriched by the deep levels of empathy this engrossing story evokes."

Redwood Court (2024)
DeLana R A Dameron
"DeLana R. A. Dameron expertly weaves threads of grace, grit, and grief into a tapestry that captures the beauty of not just one particular family but family in general. This novel is a heartrending celebration of the ties that bind, and a poetic one at that."

Did You Hear About Kitty Karr? (2023)
Crystal Smith Paul
"A compelling odyssey into the consequences our choices can have across history and generations, the psychic toll and moral complexities of those choices, and the devastating secrets hidden behind even the most glamorous and opulent of lives and the most 'pristine' family trees. An immensely entertaining debut."

Time's Undoing (2023)
Cheryl A Head
"Cheryl Head's storytelling skills are on full display in this enjoyable and piercing novel about one young woman's courageous search for answers about her family's past. Time's Undoing is a poignant meditation on how the legacies of both trauma - and triumph - shape our lives. Head's efforts to excavate the past in the pages of this novel is a painful reckoning with racism, but ultimately a hopeful exercise in understanding resilience, grace and the importance of history to tell us who we are and who we might become, as individuals and as a country. Pull up a chair book clubs because there's lots to discuss!"

The Unsinkable Greta James (2022)
Jennifer E Smith
"This novel is unabashedly sentimental in the best possible way. It's about how family can misunderstand us, grief can undo us, and our dreams can save us. The Unsinkable Greta James is as transporting and diverting as the Alaskan cruise Greta herself is on in these pages. In short: It's a total delight!"
