Marisa de los Santos recommends
Into the Unbounded Night (2020)
Mitchell James Kaplan
"Kaplan's prose is so rich and agile I felt I was breathing the air of these ancient places, and his evocation of character is no less palpable. Fully embodied and driven by ambition, grief, the clear-eyed desire for truth, and fierce maternal love, these characters plunge, march, and stumble toward their fascinating and entangled destinies."
The Real Michael Swann (2018)
Bryan Reardon
"Bryan Reardon's compelling new novel lives at the intersection of ripped-from-the-headlines catastrophe and abiding, deeply personal human love. Julia and Michael's marriage is so finely drawn that Julia's crisis of faith in her husband felt every bit as crucial to me as the national horror unfolding around her. The marriage, at least as much as the mystery, kept me up late, with my heart in my throat, turning pages."
The Nearness of you (2017)
Amanda Eyre Ward
"The Nearness of You includes everything I love about Amanda Eyre Ward's books: edgy eloquence, ingenious plotting, and relationships that are never, not for a single paragraph, simple or predictable."
