Jennifer Haigh recommends
Pomegranate (2023)
Helen Elaine Lee
"Helen Elaine Lee is a writer of great humanity, wisdom, delicacy and heart. Pomegranate is a moving portrait of a woman living with her mistakes and determined to do better. Ranita's journey out of addiction and incarceration and early trauma, her daily struggle to live a life as large as her spirit, is a remarkable feat of literary conjuration. This is what novels are for."
Our Share of Night (2022)
Mariana Enríquez
"Mariana Enriquez is a visionary. She conjures a brutal, voluptuous world where nothing is as it appears. I'm still looking over my shoulder."
Silent Winds, Dry Seas (2021)
Vinod Busjeet
"Silent Winds, Dry Seas is a classic coming-of-age novel--wise, tender, beautifully written, and utterly transporting. Vinod Busjeet is a gifted storyteller."
