Those Opulent Days (2024)
Jacquie Pham
"A compelling and complex portrait of human relationships, desires and failings, set against the beautifully evoked backdrop of colonial Vietnam."
thumb
Search History (2023)
Amy Taylor
"Sharp, elegant, wry, wonderfully nuanced, and insightful . . . a must-read for anyone interested in questions of love, relationships, and what it means to know another person in today's world of instant online gratification - or, really, to know anyone at all."
thumb
The Night Flowers (2023)
Sara Herchenroether
"The Night Flowers is so many things: a murder mystery, a ghost story, a meditation on violence and the fragility of the body. Compelling, insightful, and evocative."
