Barbara Kingsolver recommends
Soldier Sailor (2023)
Claire Kilroy
"Kilroy packs a stunning worldly wisdom into her beautiful prose."
At the Edge of the Haight (2021)
Katherine Seligman
"What a read this is, right from its startling opening scene. But even more than plot, it’s the richly layered details that drive home a lightning bolt of empathy. To read At the Edge of the Haight is to live inside the everyday terror and longings of a world that most of us manage not to see, even if we walk past it on sidewalks every day. At a time when more Americans than ever find themselves at the edge of homelessness, this book couldn’t be more timely."
Outside Looking In (2019)
T C Boyle
"Boyle is a writer who chooses a large canvas and fills it to the edges."
