Rachel Kadish recommends
We Would Never (2025)
Tova Mirvis
"We Would Never is utterly spellbinding. Tova Mirvis's characters are so real you'll wish you could grab them for a heart-to-heart before it's too late...but the propulsive plot is already sweeping you right along with them toward the unthinkable. Mirvis has written a knockout exploration of the ways people shape and misshape their lives through anger, and the lines people never believe they'll cross until they do."
The Lioness of Boston (2023)
Emily Franklin
"The Lioness of Boston is a treasure trove of art, sensuality, Boston history, and more. Emily Franklin has captured Isabella Stewart Gardner's blazing life and the light it sheds on the lives of women then and now."
Delphi (2022)
Clare Pollard
"We need the ancients to explain today to us, and we need Clare Pollard. In brief, brilliant passages, Pollard confronts the shadow-play of our screen-entranced lives, and offers this simultaneous comfort and curse: we are not the first to live these griefs and these bewilderments. Delphi is the strangest, best thing I've read in ages."
