Jenny Tinghui Zhang recommends

Bog Queen (2025)
Anna North
"With rich, elegiac prose, Anna North's Bog Queen travels between modern day England and the druidic order of Celtic Europe to ask what we owe the past, the earth, and ultimately, each other. A book of magic and healing."

Underspin (2025)
E Y Zhao
"E. Y. Zhao's Underspin hurtles down the line and leaves a trail of fire in its wake. An electric debut."

The War Begins in Paris (2023)
Theodore Wheeler
"An exhilarating rush of a novel, The War Begins in Paris tells the story of a woman torn between what is right and what is easy. With sharp, propulsive prose, Theodore Wheeler's third novel is a tender search for courage and humanity in the face of the unthinkable."
