Jan '21 Notable Books: Ladee Hubbard, Liese O'Halloran Schwarz & Sarah Moss
A recurring series on the most interesting book releases of the month...
Summerwater - Sarah Moss (Jan. 12) - On the longest day of the summer, twelve people sit cooped up with their families in a faded Scottish cabin park. The endless rain leaves them with little to do but watch the other residents. Tensions rise and all watch on, unaware of the tragedy that lies ahead as night finally falls.
What Could Be Saved - Liese O'Halloran Schwarz (Jan. 12) - An enthralling, redemptive novel set in Bangkok in 1972 and Washington, DC, in 2019 about an expatriate child who goes missing, whose family is contacted decades later by a man claiming to be the vanished boy.
The Rib King - Ladee Hubbard (Jan. 19) - Elegantly written and exhaustively researched, The Rib King is an unsparing examination of America’s fascination with black iconography and exploitation that redefines African American stereotypes in literature.
