Olivia Wolfgang-Smith recommends
Mercy Hill (2026)
Hannah Thurman
"An intense and poignant debut about four sisters burdened by their mother with an impossible mission - both politically and emotionally - and the different ways they are shaped by the same pressure. With finesse, Thurman renders a layered, extraordinary portrait of the complexity and competing 'truths' of childhood - both as it is experienced, and as it is reassessed in adulthood. Readers will leave Mercy Hill pondering where history ends and our own feelings begin."
