In June, Brit Bennett gave us an inside scoop about her novel, and we haven’t stopped thinking about it since. It’s a stunning novel about twin sisters inseparable as children, who ultimately choose to live in two very different worlds, one Black and one white. Looking well beyond issues of race, The Vanishing Half considers the lasting influence of the past as it shapes a person’s decisions, desires and expectations.

You will fly through this novel. A young black babysitter is accused of a kidnaping, and her white employer steps in to ‘help.’ Such a Fun Age makes you consider race, privilege, and the shortcomings of good intentions.

From the award-winning author of Station Eleven, an exhilarating novel set at the glittering intersection of two seemingly disparate events — a massive Ponzi scheme collapse and the mysterious disappearance of a woman from a ship at sea.

In All Adults Here, Emma Straub’s unique alchemy of wisdom, humor, and insight come together in a deeply satisfying story about adult siblings, aging parents, high school boyfriends, middle school mean girls, the lifelong effects of birth order and all the other things that follow us into adulthood, whether we like them to or not.
