A STUDY IN DROWNING is a YA gothic mystery novel perfect for fall with its “dark academia” undertones and rich atmospheric settings. The main protagonist, Effy Sayre, is the only female student at an otherwise all-male Llyrian school for architecture. Her first choice is the school of literature, however, due to the glaring misogyny of the board, no women are allowed admittance. Forced into complacency, Effy is excited when a contest to design the manor of Myrddin, the recently deceased author and beloved Llyr author of her favorite novel “Angharad” is advertised on campus. Ava Reid's prose is gorgeous and haunting. The exploration of pain, trauma, and bravery against your inner demons, or the chance to stand up against certain injustices in ASID skyrockets it into a sort of timeless piece of literature that can be revisited whenever one is faced with mounting dread, paralysis, or crippling inertia. Ava Reid takes your hand and shows you how there is a soft place to land in literature and that your voice matters–your story matters, and you are not alone. I loved this novel so much, and I can't wait for the world to read it!
Sitting Pretty is an incredibly powerful book that tackles Rebekah’s experiences with ableism and addresses the lack of representation and inclusion, true inclusion, head on."We don't want to include disabled perspectives just because it's nice or fair to the "handicapped" people. We want to weave these stories in the collection, we want to consider disabled folks as worthy of their own, ordinary storylines, because without them. we are less robust, less flexible, and less equipped for the ride we're already on,So yes, representation is nothing short of everything."
"I don't think 'meadow' and 'meditation' have the same root, but perhaps they should―Molnar’s book is a lovely reminder of how you can see the world in an acre."―Bill McKibben, author of Falter: Has the Human Game Begun to Play Itself Out?
Please join us for an evening with Vermont author Martha Molnar for a discussion of her new book Playing God in the Meadow.
