Jenny Tinghui Zhang recommends
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."
Where There Was Fire (2023)
John Manuel Arias
"An arresting tale of love, regret, and redemption. John Manuel Arias offers a searing look into the legacy of American agribusiness in Costa Rica and masterfully tells the story of a family fighting to put itself back together in the wake of unimaginable loss. As poetic as it is powerful, Where There Was Fire burns with rage and grief, and most of all, hope."
Do Tell (2023)
Lindsay Lynch
"An electric novel about power and complicity in the Golden Age of Hollywood told through the eyes of Edith O'Dare, a narrator as fearsome as she is fallible. In Do Tell, Lindsay Lynch masterfully uncovers a world in which gossip is currency and image is everything, laying bare the devastating consequences of secrets told and untold. Enthralling and utterly relevant."
