The Painter's Daughters (2024)
Emily Howes
"The Painter's Daughters is beautifully written...I raced through it. Howes's research is filtered through contemporary consciousness and deployed with skill. It's a polished performance."
thumb
Hungry Ghosts (2023)
Kevin Jared Hosein
"Deeply impressive . . . Energy and inventiveness distinguish every page."
thumb
Joan (2022)
Katherine J Chen
"It is as if the author has crept inside a statue and breathed a soul into it, re-creating Joan of Arc as a woman for our time."
