E J Levy recommends
Oslo, Maine (2021)
Marcia Butler
"Oslo, Maine is an enchantment; I read it in two sittings, utterly absorbed, spellbound by this world where everyone--even a mother moose--has secrets and hidden yearnings (and unexpected capacities), and where even damage can prove to be a redemptive gift. Marcia Butler is a master dramatist, a sorceress, and extraordinary novelist; this book will break your heart and heal it."
