Joanna Scott recommends
One in Me I Never Loved (2021)
Carla Guelfenbein
"Friends go missing, lovers are separated, yet Carla Guelfenbein, a writer with a fierce and tender imagination, makes this novel all about presence: the insistent presence of the past, the presence of possibility and hope. Every point of absence generates probing thought and fervent emotions. Guelfenbein has filled her canvas with mesmerizing, intricate life, leaving no blank spaces."
More Miracle Than Bird (2020)
Alice Miller
"Alice Miller brilliantly animates a pivotal period of literary history in expansive scope and immersive detail. Miller illuminates the relationship of Georgie Hyde-Lees and W. B. Yeats by vividly reimagining them, making the past newly apprehensible and riveting."
Life Goes to the Movies (2009)
Peter Selgin
