Richard Russo recommends
 Wide Blue Yonder (1995) Jean Thompson "In Wide Blue Yonder, Jean Thompson offers up a smart, stylish thriller, by turns dark and hilarious." |  The King of Limbo and Other Stories (2001) Adrianne Harun "Magical... Adrianne Harun possesses the rare ability to see the world at an odd tilt that makes everything appear new, at times even to shimmer." |  The Miss America Family (2002) Julianna Baggott "... a writer after my own heart." | |
 Solos (2004) Kitty Burns Florey "Utterly engrossing." |  The Anxiety of Everyday Objects (2004) Aurelie Sheehan "Exudes charm at every pore. Even better, its stylish, breezy exterior belies unexpected emotional depth." |  The Garden Angel (2004) Mindy Friddle "Mindy Friddle has a great comic touch and her novel is a touching, heartfelt debut." | |
 Between Two Rivers (2004) Nicholas Rinaldi "Between Two Rivers is a masterpiece, a book that will take your breath away." |  What To Wear To See The Pope (2004) Christine Lehner "Perhaps the most haunting, idiosyncratic, gleefully subversive, and satisfying story collection I've read since Isak Dinesen's Seven Gothic Tales." |  The Western Limit of the World (2005) David Masiel "A harrowing, riveting read that transcends its thriller genre without undermining it. Bravo." | |
 Jamesland (2005) Michelle Huneven "Michelle Huneven is a writer of extraordinary and thrilling talent, and JAMESLAND is a marvel." |  Tenney's Landing (2005) Catherine Tudish "The women of Tenney's Landing are the sort I'm always wishing I'd meet more often in real life - smart, large-hearted, soulful, brave." |  American Wife (2008) Curtis Sittenfeld "Curtis Sittenfeld is an amazing writer, and American Wife is a brave and moving novel about the intersection of private and public life in America. Ambitious and humble at the same time, Sittenfeld refuses to trivialize or simplify people, whether real or imagined." | |
 Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter (2010) Tom Franklin "A very fine novel indeed." |  Father of the Rain (2010) Lily King "One of the most richly satisfying and haunting novels I've read in a long time." |  Leaving Rock Harbor (2010) Rebecca Chace "An irresistible read in part because its protagonist, Frankie Ross, seduces us on the first page and never surrenders our affection, but also because fictional Rock Harbor feels as real as she does." | |
 The Cove (2012) Ron Rash "Ron Rash is a writer of both the darkly beautiful and the sadly true. The Cove solidifies his reputation as one of our very finest novelists." |
