What SIBA Booksellers have to say:
Honeysuckle by Bar Fridman-Tell
An unsettling horror of autonomy and an achingly beautiful tale of finding one's voice. Woven together through lush depictions of the natural world that breathe life onto the pages, Bar Fridman-Tell's debut is a haunting unraveling that will stick with you long after the final chapter.
–Erin, Tombolo Books in St. Petersburg, Florida
Whidbey by T Kira Madden
The best thing about this book was how nuanced it is while still telling a story that never excuses horrific behavior. She manages to capture the gray in every character, showing us the full range of humanity in both the victim and the perpetrator, as well as the people who love each.
– Kandi, Wordsworth Books, Little Rock, Arkansas
A Suit or a Suitcase: Poems by Maggie Smith
This beautiful poetry collection looks at the connection between mind and body and the ways our sense of self shifts over time...A quiet, powerful read that stays with you.
– Sandra, Hills & Hamlets Bookshop in Chattahoochee Hills, Georgia
KIn the Days of My Youth I Was Told What It Means to Be a Man: A Memoir by Tom Junod
Our fathers were still our fathers, and we love them regardless of their foibles as this elegant and elegiac memoir shows. Tom Junod took me back to my childhood and I saw my father, and with an honesty I don't have shares with us with his father warts and all.
– Pete, McIntyre's Books in Pittsboro, North Carolina
The Creek, The Crone, and the Crow by Leah Weiss
It's a gift and a joy to read one of Leah Weiss's books. Her descriptions of the natural world and well-crafted characters stay with you for years. She writes intelligently yet lovingly about Appalachia and the people who live in the small community of Baines Creek.
– Mary, The Little Bookshop in Midlothian, Virginia
