“A psychologically engrossing novel about the homes we make-in our houses, in our neighborhoods, and in the hearts of our loved ones. Laken takes on that great unspoken American subject-class-and does so with frankness, acuity and surpassing feeling. DREAM HOUSE is a memorable debut novel from a fully mature talent.” HeartDoeFeelingsHomeDreamHouseClassNovelSubjectsTalentMemorableNeighborhoodMatureLoved OnesUnspokenDebutSurpassingFranknessDream House Author:Peter Ho Davies
“The Green Shore is an engrossing novel about political oppression, played out on an intimate family scale. Bakopoulos charts the subtle, gnawing pressures of life under the Greek junta - the steady drip of daily coercion - with an exacting empathy. In particular, her depiction of love under tyranny - by turns hesitant, furtive and liberating - is as astute as it is moving.” MovingPoliticalTurnsNovelParticularEmpathyPressureGreenScalesTyrannyOppressionGreekIntimateSubtleShoreSteadyLiberatingCoercionDepictionHesitantAstutePolitical Oppression Author:Peter Ho Davies
