Jude Berman recommends
A Wolff in the Family (2024)
Francine Falk-Allen
"A Wolff in the Family, historical fiction with a touch of memoir, belongs among the great multi-generational family sagas, such as The Forsyte Saga, East of Eden, and The Thorn Birds. Falk-Allen weaves a complex story of light and dark, of human failings compounded by the oppressive gender roles in traditional families. The characters come alive on the page, drawing you into a vivid world of yesterday."
Sleeping in the Sun (2024)
Joanne Howard
"Howard explores the tribulations and tragic ironies of imperialism in British India. Relationships are not what they appear to be, people have hidden dark sides, and one person's faith is another's sin. After a crime has been committed, it must be determined who did what and why. Yet Howard leaves you wondering who are the good guys and who are the bad guys in a country where religion and culture have been forcibly imposed. A thoughtful read, using historical fiction to shine light on the praxis of decolonization in our current century."
