Susan Bernhard recommends
End of August (2025)
Paige Dinneny
"A bittersweet coming-of-age story that heats to bursting like a sweltering summer day, hauntingly familiar for anyone from a small town. Tender, moody, and exquisitely told, End of August reads like the novel version of a favorite song."
Embers on the Wind (2022)
Lisa Williamson Rosenberg
"Ambitious and enthralling, Embers on the Wind is a richly told story of women bound by generations past and by spirits struggling to uncover truths and gain some semblance of freedom. Gripping and harrowing, start to finish."
A Conspiracy of Mothers (2021)
Colleen van Niekerk
"Deeply affecting and beautifully rendered, A Conspiracy of Mothers is a tapestry woven with sacrifice, suffering, and loss but also with a love between generations of women so deep it invokes ancestral magic that defies the laws of space and time. This story of pilgrimage and reckoning amid the unraveling of apartheid should resonate with anyone interested in breaking down systems of racism and oppression, wherever they exist. A brilliant novel to be read alongside Trevor Noah’s Born a Crime and Isabel Wilkerson’s Caste."
