I can't remember the last time I finished a book and said "holy shit" out loud. I will read everything Megan Giddings publishes. The Women Could Fly was even more powerful and gut-wrenching than Lakewood which is really saying something. No clever or thoughtful review, just awe and appreciation. Some of the scenes in this book will live in my head for years to come. An exacting, devastating, and cleareyed look at being an other in our "modern" age.

I can't remember the last time I had so many different strong emotions from one book. Atmospheric and sad, gloomy but also strangely hopeful. This is a book about the way people can adjust to the unthinkable and the burden of preservation.

A family saga centered around the secrets of a mother who died before being able to share with her children her true history. Patsy meets Homegoing with a more commercial bent (which I absolutely mean as a compliment). A great debut! Some real shining moments.

I think I was primed to love this book about a young woman in book production on the precipice of (and in) a terrifying pandemic. It felt a little insane to have read this at the end of 2021 / beginning of 2022 while the omicron variant is ripping through the country, but at the same time, it was a strange comfort given the book's similarities, and differences, to this moment in time. Ma's writing is thickly descriptive and dream-like. I could see both halves of Candace's narrative - in New York and leaving New York - so clearly in my mind. The ability to make a work filled with death and desolation feel so beautiful is quite a skill.

So beautiful, so sad, so dreamy. A testament to how the past ties us all together for better or worse.
