In fiction, we see ourselves take shape and we learn how to see others. Those images can either reinforce traditional narratives or they show us the full depth of our humanity - the intricacies and intimacies of ourselves. In these books I found joy. They are novels about family and love and home in all its iterations. I love these books, and hope you find something here to love, too.
