Books to keep on your radar:
WHITE IVY is a debut novel about a young woman’s dark obsession with her privileged classmate and the lengths she’ll go to win his love. WHITE IVY is filled with surprising twists while offering insights into the immigrant experience. It’s also both a love triangle and a coming-of-age story, and it provides a glimpse into the dark side of a woman who yearns for success at any cost.
DEARLY is Margaret Atwood’s first collection of poetry in over a decade. Atwood addresses themes such as love, loss, the passage of time, the nature of nature, and - zombies. Her new poetry is introspective and personal in tone, but wide-ranging in topic.
Longlisted for the 2020 National Book Award for fiction, LEAVE THE WORLD BEHIND by Rumaan Alam is a magnetic novel about two families, strangers to each other, who are forced together on a long weekend gone terribly wrong. Suspenseful and provocative, Leave the World Behind is keenly attuned to the complexities of parenthood, race, and class. It explores how our closest bonds are reshaped, unexpected new ones are forged - in moments of crisis.
