Gillian French recommends
To the Bone (2024)
Alena Bruzas
"A tale of graceful devastation. Alena Bruzas's flawless prose embroiders one of the most brutal periods of our country's early history with a pure and glinting thread of humanity. A chilling, unforgettable story."
Midnight on Beacon Street (2024)
Emily Ruth Verona
"Midnight on Beacon Street is a domestic puzzle box of a thriller, offering sliding timelines, subtly planted clues, and multiple viewpoints, all of which interlock to form one terrifying night on a quiet suburban street where a babysitter will be pushed beyond her most extreme limits to survive. A suspenseful, page-turning delight."
The Sharp Edge of Silence (2023)
Cameron Kelly Rosenblum
"Told in sumptuous, evocative prose, The Sharp Edge of Silence chronicles the interwoven stories of three very different Lycroft Phelps students on their journey to a shared epiphany: that power and privilege hide a multitude of sins, and silence is the natural enemy of justice. The poetic narrative and sparkling New England setting illustrate that beauty can be found in broken things, and anything is survivable if we don't give up on ourselves."
