And if you'd like to know what's in the next shipment:
Julia and Cassie are the kind of best friends who can read each other’s minds and finish each other’s sentences. When the girls reach middle school and begin to grow apart — bookish Julia in honors classes and the cooler, more aloof Cassie in the party crowd — Julia feels the rift acutely, confused by the opposing inevitabilities of staying friends forever and taking separate paths to adulthood. As Cassie’s home life deteriorates and ugly rumors start flying through school, Julia must decide if and how to help her friend. In Claire Messud’s stunning new novel, The Burning Girl, the ordinary landscapes of youth and small-town life are thick with a suspense and darkness that brilliantly illuminate the liminal headspace of adolescence, caught between the comforts of childhood and the reaching arms of the adult world. Both richly symbolic and frankly written, The Burning Girl cuts to the heart of what it feels like to be a teenage girl, and to lose a friend. We’re elated to present The Burning Girl as our selection for Volume 68 of Indiespensable.
