Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant

Anne Tyler (also rec’d by Kathy Griffin) · Buy on Amazon

"The masterful Anne Tyler again steals away with the most incredible story of a family unraveling and unfolding with the truths of resentments, failures, jealousy and beauty. Such a thing to behold is Anne Tyler at work. Haunting."

Wide Sargasso Sea

Jean Rhys (also rec’d by Stevie Nicks ) · Buy on Amazon

"Rhys had the daring idea to give life to the the lady in the attic of Charlotte Brontë’s ‘Jane Eyre.’ An erotic, evocative, sumptuous and beautiful voice liberating Antionette."

The Awakening

Kate Chopin (also rec’d by Cheryl Strayed ) · Buy on Amazon

"A landmark work of feminism, which was censored at the time of its release. But more so, it is beautifully written, with an iridescent shimmer—a moving and devastating spiritual tragedy."

What We Talk About When We Talk About Love

Raymond Carver (also rec’d by David Sedaris & Lorde ) · Buy on Amazon

"I always return to Raymond Carver, his dirty realism, his sparse writing and his ambiguity is a joy to read, to drift away with, finding the dark corners and weird places."
