Wellness feels like a Dickens novel written by John Irving, or maybe the other way around. That this modern love story is all at once nostalgic, hopeful, sharply realistic, and funny as hell will seem impossible, but only until the end of the first page. I love this novel.

Claire Keegan stories seem so quiet and smooth that when the fright is finally revealed, it's as sharp and shocking as the prick of a pin through cashmere. This collection is no exception, and one of the three stories here--Antarctica--is my favorite of all of her work--I've thought of it every day since I read it.

This collection of interconnected stories is cloaked in atmosphere and offers mystery, fairy tales, and fantasy to surpass even Neil Gaiman at his best. Atkinson has always asked the hard questions in her fiction. In this collection, she asks: what if God were a woman working a day job in advertising? The answer is a hoot, and my favorite story in the collection.
