    The Great Reclamation

    by Rachel Heng

    Set against a changing Singapore, this a sweeping novel about one boy’s unique gifts and the childhood love that will complicate the fate of his community and country.

    Silver Nitrate

    by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

    Montserrat has always been overlooked. She’s a talented sound editor, but she’s left out of the boys’ club running the film industry in ’90s Mexico City. And she’s all but invisible to her best friend, Tristán, a charming if faded soap opera star, though she’s been in love with him since childhood. As they work together to unravel a mystery of a film and the obscure occultist who once roamed their city, Montserrat and Tristán may find that sorcerers and magic are not only the stuff of movies.
