Andrew Solomon recommends
Every Story Is a Love Story (2026)Imbolo Mbue"Mbue questions who forgives whom and under what circumstances and why, veering close to easy answers only to set them on fire. The outward plot is captivating, but most profound as it reveals the tension between loss and love, self-interest and generosity, impulse and wisdom. This remarkably insightful book will make you grow in beautiful ways." Sheepdogs (2025)Elliot Ackerman"This fast-paced book, at once engrossing and insightful, sweeps the reader into military and post-military life, explains how baroque operations work and what can happen when they go awry. It's a rollicking adventure story populated with compellingly real characters, a brilliantly constructed thriller that describes both physical escapades and psychological drama." The English Problem (2025)Beena Kamlani"n elegant, evocative prose, Beena Kamlani evokes both the British understanding of India and the Indian understanding of Britain - each culture admiring yet misapprehending the other - and the life of a man who was of both cultures and of neither. Her characters are beautifully evoked and profoundly true; her narrative of displacement and desire is persuasive and resonant; and her deep understanding of the broken politics between societies trying to make sense of each other feels particularly relevant in today's world. Unpretentious, understated, fully authentic, this is a sweeping novel of dispossession, loss, dignity, and love. It contains darkness, loneliness, even tragedy; but also an almost Gandhian narrative of peaceable, unrelenting hope." One Woman Show (2023)Christine Coulson"Brilliant. Christine Coulson's tragicomedy of manners is an immense delight. Condensed into its witty format is the story of a life, a life like some I have known and others about which I have read. Coulson captures her character's gentle decline with the precision of Edith Wharton and evokes the eras she traverses with such clarity, even wisdom, describing a woman's changing (or unchanging) role in the world with an acuity that left this reader astonished time and again." The Book of Mother (2021)Violaine Huisman"An indelible portrait of a brilliant, beautiful, mad and maddening woman, expressing the joy of holding her mercurial attention and also the terrible cost of that intimacy. This is an exquisite evocation of the passionate, reciprocal love that can illuminate its objects, or destroy them, or both. No one who reads this captivating book will ever forget Maman." Red, White, Blue (2018)Lea Carpenter"With the elegant restraint of an intelligence operative herself, Lea Carpenter unwinds the complex relationship between a daughter and her secretive father. Her book delves into the obscure culture of the CIA, but even deeper into the way that a man’s necessarily hidden life impinges on his child’s sense of coherence. This is a riveting and disturbing account of attachments that can never be fully resolved, a book about dignity and discretion and their oblique relationship to intimacy." The Mercy Seat (2018)Elizabeth H Winthrop"In this spare, taut novel, the separate stories of the people around an execution join together to form a portrait of a town, a mentality, a moment in time. This is a compelling, sorrowful read, deeply perceptive and wonderfully full of grace." Visitors also looked at these authors
