The Great Offshore Grounds
By Vanessa Veselka (Aug. 25)
In this work from award-winning novelist Vanessa Veselka, half-sisters Cheyenne and Livy expect to receive a financial inheritance from their estranged father, but what they get instead is a name that reveals a long-held family secret. “This gritty and unsentimental work is compassionate, funny, and deeply human,” writes Publishers Weekly.
