Notes on Your Sudden Disappearance by Alison Espach
“A marvelous exercise in voice . . . Never contrived, the novel is beautifully written, making even the quotidian details of Sally’s life fascinating, in part because the story invites such a deep emotional involvement with the fully realized characters and, indeed, with the entirety of this splendid and memorable book.” —Booklist
An Island by Karen Jennings
“Jennings adroitly weaves Samuel’s painful past into a disquieting present and through her characters captures universal human truths.”—Booklist
The Cherry Robbers by Sarai Walker
“Walker's take on the classic Gothic tale fairly shimmers, titillating with a heady concoction of terror and desire, frothy with fever-pitched emotions, and dark with smothering melancholy and macabre spectres.” —Booklist
Ma and Me by Putsata Reang
“A nuanced mediation on love, identity, and belonging. This story of survival radiates with resilience and hope." —Publishers Weekly
His Name Is George Floyd by Robert Samuels and Toluse Olorunnipa
“Writing with cogency and compassion, the authors free Floyd from the realm of iconography, restoring his humanity . . . A brilliant biography, history book, and searing indictment of this country’s ongoing failure to eradicate systemic racism.” —Kirkus Reviews
My Life edited by CAPE (Coalition of Asian Pacifics in Entertainment)
“Taken all together, the individually significant pieces elevate and illuminate the multifaceted, intersectional experiences of Asian Americans across sectors and industries, giving voice to their struggles, achievements, and resilience….[E]normously engaging.” —Booklist
This Time Tomorrow by Emma Straub
“As always, Straub creates characters who feel fully alive, exploring the subtleties of their thoughts, feelings, and relationships. . . . Combine Straub’s usual warmth and insight with the fun of time travel and you have a winner.” —Kirkus Reviews
