Geraldine Brooks recommends
Mahjar (2005) Eva Sallis "In Mahjar, Sallis wields her great gifts of empathy and eloquence to render human beings in full unflinching detail. It is a book of journeys, passionate and powerful." | There, Where The Pepper Grows (2005) Bem Le Hunte "Bem Le Hunte is, quite simply, a wonderful novelist." | The Night Journal (2006) Elizabeth Crook "A vividly imagined and emotionally unsparing account of lives both damaged and redeemed by love." |
The Rebellion of Jane Clarke (2010) (Satucket, book 3) Sally Gunning "Beautifully researched and ardently imagined, Gunning's writing is so vivid you can taste the salt in the Cape Cod air... Her Satucket novels are destined to become classics." | The Call (2011) Yannick Murphy "This is a wonderful novel. Original, suspenseful, funny, and profoundly moving. It's about family, community, the human bond with animals, and - oh yeah - spaceships. I am in awe of Yannick Murphy's achievement and I plan to recommend it to everyone I know." | The Possibility of You (2012) Pamela Redmond "The Possibility of You is an exploration of love and family, of race and of relationships... Complex and compelling and compulsively readable." |
