Abraham Verghese recommends
John of John (2026)
Douglas Stuart
"John of John is gorgeous - the most satisfying novel I've read in a long time. The Western Isles of Scotland may be isolated, yet I could see, smell, hear, and touch these memorable characters, and get caught up in their world. Stuart's tale is soulful, tragic, comic, uplifting, and ultimately so very satisfying. Destined to be a classic."
33 Place Brugmann (2025)
Alice Austen
"33 Place Brugmann is set in the turmoil of the Nazi occupation of Belgium. Austen's device of using one apartment building, its memorable tenants, and their individual transformations is brilliant. A compelling and beautiful read."
