Courage (editor at the literary magazine Agni) has created a compelling, nonstop reading experience that pulls readers relentlessly forward as Hester is slowly transformed. Written with dry humor, bilious sarcasm, and startlingly vivid imagery, this debut takes its place among American picaresque novels such as Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and Jack Kerouac’s On the Road.
Purvis is a skillful writer, creating a story that is part historical fiction, part feminist cautionary tale, and wholly engaging. Recommended for fans of Ottessa Moshfegh and Rachel Yoder.
Hamdan’s compelling debut will provoke thoughtful discussion and is recommended for readers who enjoyed James McBride’s The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store or Etaf Rum’s Evil Eye.
Greathead’s (Laura & Emma) latest, which follows the title character from childhood to middle age, is a warm-hearted and gently humorous examination of a chronic failure. Left open to question is what happens to George next? Sequel?
Highly recommended for readers of fantasy mysteries, fans of Elsa Hart’s Jade Dragon Mountain, and anyone who enjoys stories of unreliable narrators where magic is hidden in plain sight. Choo’s (The Night Tiger) latest is magical, lyrical, and utterly compelling.
