Small Ceremonies (2025)
Kyle Edwards
"In this compelling, multi-voiced first novel, Kyle Edwards carries us north to the landscape of Winnipeg, Manitoba, and into the geography of youth itself. This book - bracing, kaleidoscopic - made me relive those gritty, tender, fragile years before you are fully grown, when you still believe you can do both - stay rooted and fly free."

The Other Mother (2022)
Rachel M Harper
"A riveting, suspenseful, tender, kaleidoscopic rewriting of the American family - formed as much by blood and memory as by desire, will, and even deception. In Rachel M. Harper's masterful hands, ideas of family are exploded and put back together in an epic story as compelling as it is necessary. Harper has written a modern American saga that defines what we are and who we might become. This is an exquisite novel."

Intimacies (2021)
Katie Kitamura
"Katie Kitamura's voice -- spare, electric, evocative -- could take me anywhere. Especially into this landscape of global wanderers, uprooted women, fragmented souls. Intimacies is a singular pleasure -- a dangerous, seductive, dagger of a novel."
