A few weeks ago, someone from the reading site Shepherd.com contacted me, offering me an odd-sounding “promotional opportunity”: I’d write micro-reviews of five books that explore themes similar to those in my novel, Family Ties.
I was, of course, suspicious at first, but after thinking it over, I went for it.
The five books I reviewed are:
- Elena Ferrante’s My Brilliant Friend
- Lucy Ellman’s Ducks, Newburyport
- Anna Burns’s Milkman
- Esther Kinsky’s River
- Catriona Lally’s Eggshells
Rather exalted company for my novel, but they all hold true to the theme, though often (as does mine) in odd ways.
So take a look at it all at:
