Book Review

A Time of Witches by Madeline Martin

A spoiler-free review of A Time of Witches by Madeline Martin: a dual-timeline novel counting down to the real Bury St Edmunds executions of 1645, ferocious in the past and much gentler in the present.

Strangers: A Memoir of Marriage by Belle Burden

A spoiler-free review of Strangers by Belle Burden: a divorce memoir with a lawyer's precision about prenups and custody, and an unusually sharp ear for how a community narrates a woman's abandonment back to her.

The Wild Beneath by Kelly Anderson

A spoiler-free review of The Wild Beneath by Kelly Anderson: a debut built in five tidal movements around a coastal town destroyed by a tsunami, superb on grief and salvage, less sure about the man who walks out of the surf.

Meet Me in the Garden by Nina LaCour

A spoiler-free review of Meet Me in the Garden by Nina LaCour: twenty-one years of a Creole painter's life from New Orleans to Watts, told in a present tense that refuses hindsight and counts what concealment costs.

The Knave and the Moon by Rachel Gillig

A spoiler-free review of The Knave and the Moon by Rachel Gillig: a five-event tournament, a knight with no memory, a gargoyle who steals the book, and a duology close that trades one grief away too cheaply.
