JANUARY PICK

Mothers and Sons by Adam Haslett

The book follows Peter, an overworked NYC asylum lawyer with a complicated love life, and his mother Ann, who’s built a women’s retreat center while trying to move on from her past. Their estrangement has lasted decades, but a haunting case in Peter’s work dredges up a shared secret the pair has to confront together. Haslett’s writing is powerful, gut-punchy, and incredibly human. Fair warning: This is not light reading, but it’s deeply rewarding. I’m already looking forward to unpacking every tense, tender moment with you all!
