Jessica Shattuck recommends
The Lioness of Boston (2023)
Emily Franklin
"This beautiful, sensitively written novel explores the fascinating life of Isabella Stewart Gardner--feminist before feminism, celebrity before celebrity. Captivating and evocative, The Lioness of Boston transported me to America's Golden Age. I couldn't put it down."
The Soviet Sisters (2022)
Anika Scott
"Meticulously researched and plotted like a noir thriller, The German Heiress tells a different story of WWII-- of characters grappling with their own guilt and driven by the question of what they could have done to change the past."
Impersonation (2020)
Heidi Pitlor
"Smart, funny, and provocative, Impersonation tunnels through our current politically-charged American landscape with humor and empathy. It's a story of parenting--and surviving--in a time when the messy realities of everyday life often clash with ideology. As page-turningly readable as it is relatable. I'll be recommending to my book group."
