★ 5People of the Book
Geraldine Brooks
The imagined history of a real Hebrew manuscript, traced back across centuries. Loved the puzzle of it.
★ 5Small Pleasures
Clare Chambers
1950s England, a lonely journalist, and a woman claiming a virgin birth. Quiet, tender, and it wrecked me.
The Safekeep
Yael van der Wouden
Postwar Netherlands, a rigid woman and the houseguest she can't stand. It slow-burns and then it detonates. So good.
