Bret Lott recommends

The Walled Garden (2022)
Robin Farrar Maass
"Robin Farrar Maass is a terrific writer whose voice and vision will hold you captive from page one. But this mystery is more than a page-turner: it's also an exquisite portrait of a young woman who is, truly and finally, seeking to solve the mystery of herself and discover who she is. This is a wonderful book. Read it!"

War Memorials (2000)
Clint McCown
