Moriel Rothman-Zecher recommends
Olive Days (2024)
Jessica Elisheva Emerson
"Thrumming with color and scent, alive with idea and ache, Olive Days is keenly observed, beautifully written, propulsive, poignant, and profound."
The Sea Elephants (2023)
Shastri Akella
"The Sea Elephants is intricate, surprising, tender, painful and lyrical. In this novel, written with nuance and grace, various forces are both juxtaposed and interwoven: cruelty and solidarity, love and trauma, bereavement and hope, loneliness and togetherness, torment and refuge, fear and bravery. This is a gorgeous, powerful, deeply moving novel that will stay with me - and, I think, many other readers - for a long time."
A Plague of Mercies (2023)
Adam Pelzman
"Delicate and intricate, A PLAGUE OF MERCIES is a generous, careful, care-filled book, overflowing with grief, and also with grace. Set in the early days of the pandemic in New York City, this novel-in-verse is both a wrenching and resonant meditation on loneliness and loss, and a gripping page-turner that gestures, reaches, toward hope and toward possibility."
