And Their Children After Them
Winner of France’s Prix Goncourt, Mathieu’s English debut focuses on coming-of-age angst while also speaking volumes for the disenfranchised, who rarely have a voice in their country’s conversation.
Privilege
Adkins takes on a complex subject just as it intersects with real events in our society. This thoughtful and engrossing novel will likely encourage genuine, heartfelt dialog among readers. Highly recommended. [See Prepub Alert, 9/16/19.]

The Girl at the Door
In a story reminiscent of The Scarlet Letter but with a more salacious vocabulary, emotional polarities abound while the accused expresses no remorse, only self-interest. Provocative reading for the brave. [See Prepub Alert, 2/4/19.]

After the Flood
An adventure rife with great peril and high emotional stakes, this postapocalyptic novel reads like a fast-paced screenplay: intense, visceral, and relentless. [See Prepub Alert, 3/17/19.]

Bunny
Intertwining a great deal of intrigue as she moves rapidly toward an enigmatic conclusion, Awad (13 Ways of Looking at a Fat Girl) uses lyrical descriptions and metaphors throughout that lend a bit of whimsy to an otherwise dark story that defies categorization. [See Prepub Aldert, 12/17/18.]
Unquiet
To examine the soul of Ingmar Bergman, a man so private and so iconic, requires much deconstruction and reconstruction, not unlike the careful editing of a film. Ullman succeeds on every level, blending time, memory, and emotion into a fascinating and intimate portrait that easily evokes the universal sense of love and loss. Highly recommended.

Ultraviolet
While this new work from the author of The Tree-Sitter is slow moving, each chapter serves as an in-depth "snapshot," leaving it up to readers to extract meaning and put it all together. Readers of Elizabeth Strout may want to take a look.
