★ 5Matrix
Lauren Groff
Matrix is a mostly fictional novel about a real person: Marie de France, an orphaned poet and member of the twelfth century royal court who is banished to a nunnery. She’s an incredible protagonist: clever, ambitious, and fiercely independent. Anyone who fell in love with Circe’s dynamism will be captivated by Matrix.
★ 5In Memoriam
Alice Winn
A devastating and gorgeous WWI story about two teenage boys who fall in love in the trenches. It will wreck you. If you finished Shuggie Bain, Demon Copperhead, and/or The Heart’s Invisible Furies, and wanted more, this one’s for you.
