PositiveBooklistA prime example of mastery of a craft; readers will want to devour it in a single sitting.
Ruby Todd
PositiveBooklistAt once a soaring epic and a grounded tale, weaving together the consequences of the celestial with the mundane aspects of grief.
Clara Drummond, trans. Daniel Hahn
PositiveBooklistRole Play is a twisted, painful, brilliantly written novel in the spirit of Clarice Lispector.
Scott Preston
PositiveBooklistTold in the voice of a hardened British farmer, used to nothing but misery and hardship and backbreaking work, and this steely tale will have a lasting effect on the reader.
Rowan Beaird
PositiveBooklistA searing, painfully honest story ... Lois and Greer are brilliantly written, utterly different, and yet each of them is desperate, and both are willing to push themselves to extreme limits to discover who they are, what they want, and what they truly deserve.
Jo Nesbo, trans. by Neil Smith
MixedBooklist\"a fast-paced escape of a book that unfortunately relies on a magical stereotype in the middle of the story to move the plot forward. Nonetheless, Nesbø skillfully keeps the reader wondering where the story is going to go next and when, if ever, the main character will reach his happy ending—or if, in fact, he deserves to reach one at all.\
