Your Presence Is Mandatory (2024)
Sasha Vasilyuk
"Your Presence Is Mandatory is a powerful story of a Jewish-Ukrainian family told in alternating time frames that stretch from WW2 Germany to 21st century Ukraine. In masterfully-crafted prose, Sasha Vasilyuk examines the harrowing choices her characters have to make to survive during and after the war."
Sing, Wild Bird, Sing (2023)
Jacqueline O'Mahony
"Almost painful in its authenticity, this breathtaking and poignant novel is an immersion in the harsh realities of nineteenth-century Ireland and America. Jacqueline O'Mahony is a formidable writer, whose voice is fearless, evocative, and uplifting. Skillfully laced with imagery, Honora's mesmerizing story of courage, survival, and striving to be free will stay in your heart long after you close the book. Brilliant and haunting."
