A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
Betty Smith
Reread A TREE GROWS IN BROOKLYN for the first time in decades and aside from it being a truly great novel, was markedly prescient about how Americans dealt with poverty, pandemics, and elections (the last one in particular)

Libertie
Kaitlyn Greenidge
@Sulliview I just finished this one also! And I think you would really enjoy LIBERTIE by Kaitlyn Greenidge.

Everybody Knows
Jordan Harper
This tale of a crisis manager’s journey of the soul is as bleak as Hollywood noir gets, skewering redemption narratives, romance and idealism. Every sentence sings with heartache.

Beautiful World, Where Are You
Sally Rooney
the streams have crossed in the discourse, oh no https://www.jta.org/2021/10/11/culture/sally-rooney-wont-let-her-new-novel-beautiful-world-where-are-you-be-published-in-hebrew

Palace of the Drowned
Christine Mangan
@emmastraub @LauraMLippman @JeanHanffKoreli also (as others have pointed out, I think @mariskreizman) pairs very well with Alexandra Andrews' WHO IS MAUD DIXON? and Christine Mangan's PALACE OF THE DROWNED
Paperback, 2022

Everybody Knows
Jordan Harper
Hollywood noir doesn’t get any darker than Jordan Harper’s dazzling EVERYBODY KNOWS, where cynicism is rewarded, romance thwarted and redemption narratives undercut at every turn.
Hardcover, 2023

Olive, Again
Elizabeth Strout
Was late to Elizabeth Strout and my god what took me so long (and OLIVE, AGAIN is even better than OLIVE KITTERIDGE)
