| To Fill a Yellow House by Sussie AnieWhat it's about: Kwasi, a 14-year-old Ghanaian boy, arrives in London feeling lost and out of place until he finds an unlikely ally in Rupert, the white middle-aged proprietor of a local charity shop.
Have a taste: "Home is in these moments of connection too, of seeing people who get it, who are moving towards this same space that calls him too."
Reviewers call it..."a message of hope for humanity" (Booklist). |
|
| The Cloisters by Katy HaysWhat it's about: Art historian Ann Stilwell finds herself helping curate an exhibition on tarot and divination at a unique museum of Medieval and Renaissance artifacts.
Read it for: a bewitching blend of psychological suspense, sexual tension, and occult mystery that will put readers on the edge of their velvet-tufted armchairs.
For fans of...Shirley Jackson's The Haunting; The Club Dumas by Pérez-Reverte; Leigh Bardugo's The Ninth House; or Susanna Clarke's Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell. |

| No One is Talking About This by Patricia LockwoodEnter the Portal: where an unnamed female protagonist has posted, tweeted, and selfie'd herself to Portal (aka basically the internet) fame. The Portal's "netizens" participate in communities within communities, encountering both the sweetly authentic and profoundly trivial.
Is it for you? The second half sees the main character called home because her sister is facing a late-term pregnancy loss. Living up to its title, this "mighty novel screams with laughter just as it wallops with grief" (Publishers Weekly).
