The Butter House (2023)
Sarah Gerard
"The Butter House is like a lithe and seductive feline, sinking its uncut claws into you. Sarah Gerard's prose is quiet and contemplative and then chaotic in bursts, also not unlike a cat. The Butter House incisively considers the simultaneous care and cruelty of pet ownership, and Gerard is masterful in writing into all the nooks and crannies of a relationship. It's the tale cat people deserve."
