Editorial reviews

About Africaville

This is a penetrating, fresh look at the indomitable spirit of black pioneers and their descendants.

About Anyone

An imaginative, time-fragmented thriller about the bitter and potentially deadly consequences of body-snatching.

About The Devil’s Due

Loose-limbed, prodigiously inventive, plotted with infernal logic, and riotously implausible from beginning to end.

About Sudden Traveler

Slipping seamlessly between fantasy and reality, it is an ambitious, powerful and, at times, deeply unsettling book.

About Nothing to See Here

It's the sweetness of this novel that will melt you, even when it ventures dangerously close to flaming schmaltz, and despite its somewhat predictable (but still satisfying) ending.

About God Save the Queens

Iandoli's book is rigorous, insightful, and authoritative — but it's also deadly personal.

About Your House Will Pay

Cha’s storytelling shows how fiction can delicately extract deeper revelations from daily headlines.

About A Kingdom for a Stage

We leave Jetta and her cause in a more uncertain state than ever, providing the perfect set-up for an intense and rousing conclusion to a series with a stunning premise and really subtle handling of difficult topics. I eagerly anticipate the final installment.

About A Lush and Seething Hell

A Lush and Seething Hell in its entirety is liable to equally and cosmically frighten all who open it.

About Thirteen Doorways, Wolves Behind Them All

It's certainly evident that Ruby is a skilled hand at creating an evocative narrative tapestry.

About The Yellow House

Out of the materials of memory and archival history, Broom's memoir solidly reconstructs what the forces of nature and institutionalized racism succeeded in knocking down.

About The Education of an Idealist

At times, this memoir feels a mile wide and inch deep. But when she does really dig down, you get a better sense of who Power is — a flawed, complicated and complex human being like the rest of us.

About Don't You Forget About Me

And that's what you'll find reading Don't You Forget About Me -- a page-turner about a heroine with a laugh-out-loud voice, an endearing romance, and, as the British say, lashings of drama.

About The Divers' Game

If dystopian stories serve as thought experiments, the best ones also function as heart experiments. And with The Divers' Game, Jesse Ball has unsettlingly accomplished both.

About Triangulum

Magnificently disorienting and meticulously constructed, Triangulum couples an urgent subtext with an unceasing sense of mystery. This is a thought-provoking dream of a novel, situated within thought-provoking contexts both fictional and historical.
