Kim Echlin recommends
We Were the Bullfighters (2024)
Marianne K Miller
"Miller's expertise on Hemingway and her penetrating observations about our responsibilities to our talents makes this a must-read historical fiction in which 'artists are like convict' and people choose what they will sacrifice for freedom."
The Singing Forest (2021)
Judith McCormack
"The Kurapaty mass grave near Minsk, Belarus, was used to hide the bodies of thousands murdered by Stalin’s secret police from 1937 to 1941. This novel of witness tells the story of the prosecution of a war criminal hiding in Canada. There is self-discovery. There is torture and false confession. There are affidavits and dark nights of the soul. There is Leah’s painful search for witnesses driven by her 'damaged, obstinate heart.' And searingly, as McCormack writes, there are the voices of the dead who cry out, 'We are here. We are waiting.' Know this history through your heart, through the empathetic imagination of McCormack’s fiction."
The Storm (2018)
Arif Anwar
"Lovers whisper, immigration papers rustle, gunfire explodes as this novel sweeps backwards and forwards across continents and decades....The interconnected stories come alive with sensual detail....This is Bangladeshi history--all our history--as we enter a new world--our world--through the absorbing stories of The Storm."
