Richard Bausch recommends
Western Alliances (2023)
Wilton Barnhardt
"There's a line in this capacious, deeply satisfying and riotous novel about how the U.S 'has skipped smilingly through history.' Well, that's been my experience reading through this story about the adventures, crossing the wide world, of Roberto and Rachel Costa. Wilton Barnhardt's novel belongs on the first shelf of our grownup pleasures. Don't miss it."
The Long Answer (2022)
Anna Hogeland
"A brilliantly constructed novel about women, and about the power of love in the heart of one woman through whom these female souls are elucidated, their passions, their terrible losses, and their bravery. These characters breathe on the page, and their stories are moving and involving. Anna Hogeland is a wonderfully talented writer."
The Orchard (2022)
Kristina Gorcheva-Newberry
"The Orchard is a beautiful portrayal of life lived in enormous change and upheaval, rooted in the history of a vast country. It is a novel worth of the master, Chekhov, whose great play we see echoed in it."
