Excited to talk with Jennifer Haigh this afternoon about her tense and generous new novel, Mercy Street. https://twitter.com/eccobooks/status/1490716619806588930

Buckeye is a reminder of the deep pleasure of following a cast of characters over their entire lives ... Ryan’s wide-angle approach complements his evocative yet tranquil style ... The author clearly loves these people, and he makes the safe bet that you will, too.

In “Joan,” her affecting and adventurous new novel, Katherine J. Chen ... [imagines] the illiterate teenager as an abused child who uses her anger (and a remarkable tolerance for pain) to become an avenging warrior.
