The language in Mrs. Osmond is like the colors of autumn in New England. It’s brilliant even in its decay.

Exit West by Mohsin Hamid
Exit West astonishes me.
Such Fine Boys by Patrick Modiano
Such Fine Boys might be a good place to introduce yourself to Nobel Prize winner, slippery Patrick Modiano. It seems to be a kind of reminiscence of his prep school days, a distinguished subgenre.
On Heroes and Tombs by Ernesto Sabato
Throughout this novel, massive in its eloquence, time is bent like a Slinky toy.
The Flight of the Maidens by Jane Gardam
You’d have to have a heart of stone not to love this novel. Three young women lounging in an ancient graveyard in the Yorkshire sticks that Gardam knows so well have all received good news.
