The House is on Fire (2023)
Rachel Beanland
"The House is on Fire is a marvel. It has everything I want from historical fiction. It makes the past as urgent for its readers as it would have been for its characters. Beginning with one tragic mistake, the raising of a chandelier, Beanland expertly leads her readers through a spellbinding story of early America in all its complexity and contradiction."
The Man Who Sold Air in the Holy Land (2022)
Omer Friedlander
"Beautifully written . . . an exceptionally thoughtful writer."
Grimoire (2020)
Robin Robertson
"Few writers so expertly pull the curtains back on the many collective fictions, both ancient and new, that constitute our understanding of the world."
