Jennifer Cody Epstein recommends
Heritage (2022)
Miguel Bonnefoy
"Heritage is a lyrical fever dream of a novel. By turns tender and ferocious, meditative and searing, it traces a graceful, looping line across history and generations, in the process laying bare the shared dreams, joys, and traumas that connect us as human beings. I loved it."
The Orchard (2022)
Kristina Gorcheva-Newberry
"The Orchard is extraordinary. Kristina Gorcheva-Newberry delivers an electrifying novel, brimming with passion, pathos, and searing insights into Russia's turbulent and richly textured past. I literally didn't want it to end."
House on Endless Waters (2020)
Emuna Elon
"House on Endless Waters is extraordinary--a vibrant, page-turning family mystery that not only carries us deep into Amsterdam's little-explored wartime history, but into the fascinating, complex and often painful process by which history is crafted into story."
