Pet: A Novel
Catherine Chidgey
A creepy, slow-tightening novel narrated by a girl obsessed with her charismatic teacher. Chidgey is so controlled it's unnerving.
★ 5Small Things Like These
Claire Keegan
A coal merchant in small-town Ireland has to decide whether to look away. Tiny book, enormous moral weight. Cried, naturally.
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.
