Elizabeth Kostova recommends
thumb
Homeseeking (2025)
Karissa Chen
"In Homeseeking, Karissa Chen brings a rare delicacy to the pain of history, exploring what it means for generations to be simultaneously imprisoned by and separated from the past. Her characters linger with desperate vividness in each other's memories--as they long will in her readers' imaginations."

Dixon, Descending (2024)
Karen Outen
"Karen Outen's gifts as a writer are many, but her triumph in Dixon, Descending is the vividness of its characters. They live, breathe, speak, and love as real people. Their anguish and their victories will stay forever with Outen's readers. This is a gorgeous and important story."
