Mary Helen Specht recommends
The Late Bloomer (2018)
Mark Falkin
"Powerful, ambitious and compulsive, Mark Falkin’s futuristic setting left me nostalgic for a world where I still live. Sara is one of those characters―real, raw, vulnerable―who I would follow anywhere, even down paths as dark as this one."
