Thank you, @claudineliterary.bsky.social, for this thoughtful review of The Clarity of Hunger!
Check out our review of Cheryl Pappas's The Clarity of Hunger
@cherylpappas.bsky.social

Check out our review of Sara Siddiqui Chansarkar's Skin Over Milk!@saraschansarkar.bsky.social
โJoy. Sorrow. Love. Apathy. Death. New chances. This is life, Chansarkar suggests, and we, her readers, cannot help but admire her lens and adore her protagonists.โ
