Happy publication day to @trosepeyton's Night Wherever We Go, a gorgeous, capacious, narratively innovative novel. Here's the @BostonGlobe review: https://t.co/wu09imueJg

I read Brit Bennett’s The Vanishing Half all at once. It was the first book I read during the early days of the pandemic that showed me a world so vivid, with characters so entirely real, I fell into it and out of my dull life.

I was the first person to ever read Bel Canto ... I read it in manuscript while sitting up at a bar ... All of her books are astonishing, of course, but I still remember the feeling of being entirely pinned to my barstool, not knowing what would come next, or how she did it.

I'm in awe of what Winterson fits into this tiny book: two different points of view, a meditation on telling stories, the sweep of history (one of the characters is a servant to Napoleon), and genuine surprise on every page.

This a wonderful review of a wonderful book by a wonderful writer. The effect of reading The Great Reclamation is hard to explain, but this review gets at it. https://t.co/dNG6MvZtSq
