"This historical thriller, set in 1950s South Africa, aligns with Jenna Bush Hager's interest in compelling narratives that spark discussion, a hallmark of her book club selections. Its exploration of complex social issues fits the kind of impactful storytelling she often champions."

"I currently have Chris Whitaker's "All the Colors of the Dark" and Kate Atkinson's "Death at the Sign of the Rook." Both brilliant, though neither will help you get to sleep."
