Amity Gaige recommends
Last House (2024)
Jessica Shattuck
"Last House soars, sweeping us through the 1960s to the near future, and following the river of oil that influences American policy. But the novel's great beating heart is the particularities of the lives of two captivating women - one bound by social mores, the other trying to dismantle them. The sublime ending touched me to my core."
We All Want Impossible Things (2022)
Catherine Newman
"We All Want Impossible Things is a riotously funny and fiercely loyal love letter to female friendship. The story of Edi and Ash proves that a best friend is a gift from the gods. Newman turns her prodigious talents toward finding joy even in the friendship's final days. I laughed while crying, and was left revived. Newman is a comic masterhand and a dazzling philosopher of the day-to-day."
The Comfort of Monsters (2021)
Willa C Richards
"In her fiery debut novel, Willa Richards folds the electrifying zing of crime fiction into an exceptional study of character. This book begs us to consider why we blame and otherize victims of violent crimes – especially when they come from society’s margins. Potent, gritty, and deeply comprehending, The Comfort of Monsters is written with a clear eye and an aching heart."
