Allegra Goodman![Chloe Schama](https://d1iyvy95qprisd.cloudfront.net/avatars-md/bd83eaf9-db66-4c11-af80-272098f586d6.webp)
There are books that assail you with their importance, and then there are those, like Allegra Goodman’s Sam (The Dial Press), whose modest-seeming ambitions blossom into sweeping works of emotional resonance.
Paperback, 2023
$18.00$9.00 + Free shipping50% off your first book![Book Cover for: Long Island Compromise, Taffy Brodesser-Akner](https://d16057n354qyo4.cloudfront.net/9780593133491.jpg?nextExtension=webp&version=1712034362)
Long Island Compromise
Taffy Brodesser-Akner![Chloe Schama](https://d1iyvy95qprisd.cloudfront.net/avatars-md/bd83eaf9-db66-4c11-af80-272098f586d6.webp)
Another tale of modern neuroses, told with bombastic appeal... Brodesser-Akner's sweep and verve is masterful; there are echoes of Philip Roth here in her examination of American Jewish identity, the promise of America, the thrill of reinvention, the prison of privilege.
Hardcover, 2024
$30.00$15.00 + Free shipping50% off your first book![Book Cover for: Asymmetry, Lisa Halliday](https://d16057n354qyo4.cloudfront.net/9781501166785.jpg?nextExtension=webp&version=1725751861)

Lisa Halliday’s Asymmetry is so so good. https://t.co/bqHu2JsE7p

Julia May Jonas![Chloe Schama](https://d1iyvy95qprisd.cloudfront.net/avatars-md/bd83eaf9-db66-4c11-af80-272098f586d6.webp)
I haven’t read a funnier book this year, nor one that galloped along at such a perfect clip. Jonas is also a playwright, and her sense of pace and timing are refined. If you haven’t picked up the novel yet, do so now. You will not regret it.
Paperback, 2023
$17.99$8.99 + Free shipping50% off your first book![Book Cover for: Women and Children First, Alina Grabowski](https://d16057n354qyo4.cloudfront.net/9781638930785.jpg?nextExtension=webp&version=1713718677)

Alina Grabowski![Chloe Schama](https://d1iyvy95qprisd.cloudfront.net/avatars-md/bd83eaf9-db66-4c11-af80-272098f586d6.webp)
In less capable hands, such rapid shifts might have a disorienting effect, but the book spins an entrancing web, the stories channeling the spirit of Mary Gaitskill and subtly building to reveal more and more about the town’s inhabitants.
Hardcover, 2024
$28.00$14.00 + Free shipping50% off your first book![Book Cover for: Blue Sisters, Coco Mellors](https://d16057n354qyo4.cloudfront.net/9780593723760.jpg?nextExtension=webp&version=1709846137)

Coco Mellors![Chloe Schama](https://d1iyvy95qprisd.cloudfront.net/avatars-md/bd83eaf9-db66-4c11-af80-272098f586d6.webp)
This intricate portrait of a family of sisters is deeply nuanced and compelling, a family drama with intimate psychological portraits within it.

Lynn Steger Strong![Chloe Schama](https://d1iyvy95qprisd.cloudfront.net/avatars-md/bd83eaf9-db66-4c11-af80-272098f586d6.webp)
Flight is its own portrait of struggle and strife, and yet a smooth and utterly compelling read. Steger Strong has a raw and unflinching originality.
