Patricia Dunn recommends
The Apology (2023)
Jimin Han
"Han's remarkable story, at times hilarious, always gripping, took me on a journey with her unrelenting 105 year-old protagonist who refuses to let anything, even death, stop her from saving her family from the impending disaster she put into motion decades earlier. I couldn't stop reading until I reached the last word, and then I read it again."
How to Make a Life (2020)
Florence Reiss Kraut
"How to Make a Life grabs by the throat and heart from page one. It parallels the gut-wrenching horrors of war and mental illness, and the extraordinary and ordinary struggles and sacrifices family makes to survive."
