Staff pick! Heather recommends 'Fruit Fly' by Josh Silver:

"For fans looking for a darker, gritty read-alike to R.F. Kuang's "Yellowface". This story bounces between two equally complex, and at times unlikable, narrators: an author stuck in a years-long writer's slump, who turns to appropriating a gay man's struggle to write her next hit - the other an addict who uses those around him as a means to get by. A twisty, fast-paced, conversation starter."

Staff pick! Joan recommends 'The Road to Goderich' by Linda McQuaig:

"This historical fiction novel follows Callandra, a young Scottish woman who agrees to marry a Presbyterian minister to save her family from poverty. They set off on a difficult journey to Upper Canada where the minister has accepted a position in Goderich. Tragic events, a careless lie, and the rebellions in Upper Canada complicate an already impossible situation, as Callandra tries to salvage a life for her and her child. "

Staff pick! Joan recommends 'The Things We Never Say' by Elizabeth Strout:

"A contemporary novel about Artie Dam, a high school history teacher, who struggles with feeling authenticity in his relationships. Although he loves his wife, his son, and his students, he feels an isolation and loneliness that he cannot shake, or share with anyone. The current political climate adds a sense of hopelessness and division. When a long-held secret is revealed to him, he is forced to further analyze his relationships, and his place in the world. An excellent read."
