Willy Vlautin recommends
Sleeping in the Sun (2024)
Joanne Howard
"Sleeping in the Sun is a novel impossible to put down. A quiet cinematic study of imperialism and the scars it has left. An outstanding debut."
Small Town Sins (2023)
Ken Jaworowski
"A tour de force of lives on the edge. A page-turner that I couldn't put down. When you think left, it hits you right; when you think it's safe, the ice starts to crack. A seriously good noir thriller."
About the Carleton Sisters (2023)
Dian Greenwood
"A tough and heartfelt look at the generational trauma of three central California sisters. Mired in secrets both past and present and haunted by a vanished father and a broken mother, these three sisters try to navigate middle-age and each other. A terrific debut novel by an author to keep an eye on."
