A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

Betty Smith
Sarah WeinmanSarah Weinman

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)

Book Cover for: Everybody Knows, Jordan Harper

Everybody Knows

Jordan Harper
Sarah WeinmanSarah Weinman

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.

Palace of the Drowned

Christine Mangan
Sarah WeinmanSarah Weinman

@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

Book Cover for: Everybody Knows, Jordan Harper

Everybody Knows

Jordan Harper
Sarah WeinmanSarah Weinman

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.

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)
