Sarah Henstra recommends
The Damages (2023)
Genevieve Scott
"The Damages is a probing, courageous work - a dance along the tightropes of memory, justice and love. It explodes the myth of the innocent bystander and ultimately celebrates the lifelong moral challenge of learning who you really are."
Let It Destroy You (2023)
Harriet Alida Lye
"The paradox of loneliness in marriage, the shockwave of parental love--staged against history's most devastating invention, the story of August and June Snow is a tender, anguished duet, glimmering with intelligence and grace."
Weave a Circle Round (2017)
Kari Maaren
"Weave a Circle Round is a marvelous, brainy romp throughhistory and myth. This is a true puzzle-box of a story, as fun to solve as it is to read."
