Elisabeth de Mariaffi recommends
The Raw Light of Morning (2022)
Shelly Kawaja
"An unflinching look at trauma and the silence that follows, The Raw Light of Morning is a coming-of-age story that defies false innocence, and tells the truth instead. Kawaja will leave you tender and bruised . . . but also hopeful. Just the book we need in these times."
Small Game Hunting at the Local Coward Gun Club (2019)
Megan Gail Coles
"Small Game Hunting is a singular, beautiful, burning story not only a piercing page-turner but a sharp and essential portrait of an island and its people in our times that will draw you in and then pull you under. It is an ocean of a book. Not to be missed."
Still Mine (2016)
(Clare and Malcolm, book 1)
Amy Stuart
"Still Mine delivers all the nail-biting moments of a fast-paced thriller and filters them through the eyes of girl-with-a-past Clare O’Dey: deeply flawed yet instantly recognizable, O’Dey is a noir detective hero for a postmodern age. Author Amy Stuart sends one missing woman out to look for another one, and the result is chilling. You’ll find yourself turning the pages faster and faster."
