Whistler by Ann Patchett. Daphne Fuller has had three stepfathers, the second of whom vanished from her life when she was nine years old after an accident for which her mother held him responsible. Years later, their chance meeting in a NY museum brings memories, regrets and a determination to make up for lost time. This is a wonderful book about the power of redemption, and families, and of storytelling.
Stakes by Noelle McCarthy. Readers who, like me, adored Noelle McCarthy’s memoir Grand will love this. It’s a remarkably honest, candid and brave account of grappling with life’s troubles - shame, trauma and an early influence which provided something to hang onto through her adult years and which manifests itself in both literary and personal ways. She’s an extraordinary writer and her book is wonderful.
