Wildflowers (2022)
Peggy Frew
"A full tide of a book, charged with anguish, glistening and pulsing with triumphant detail."
A Dream Life (2022)
Claire Messud
"A perfect frolic of a book, puffed on breezes of beauty and wit: it waltzes you through a little fear, a little darkness, and tips you out, refreshed and laughing, into the sun."
The Adventures of John Carson in Several Quarters of the World (2017)
Brian Doyle
"A tale of bounding energy with a delicate touch, driving always towards the beautiful and the true."
