Mary Gaitskill recommends
The Sisters K (2024)
Maureen Sun
"Amid the thousands of novels based on familial drama, The Sisters K stands as a true original. It is an intense, subtle and extremely complex story of love and hate, and, beyond that, the mystery of biological and emotional ties. In drawing her anguished, gallant characters, Maureen Sun has almost invented a new way of describing the inner lives of humans; it is an achievement."
Cheri (2023)
Jo Ann Beard
"Profoundly sad, poignant, and filled with the flabbergasting abundance of life ... an extraordinary achievement."
The Days of Afrekete (2021)
Asali Solomon
"The Days of Afrekete is a subtle, unique novel about the power of feeling between young women, and how even seemingly ephemeral relationships can affect a life across decades of personal and social change. It is a haunting and redemptive story."
