Book Description
A National Book Foundation "5 Under 35" Honoree “An enchanting, sparkling book about the many meanings of sisterhood.” —Kristin Iversen, Refinery29 Claire Luchette's debut, Agatha of Little Neon, is a novel about yearning and sisterhood, figuring out how you fit in (or don’t), and the unexpected friends who help you find your truest self Agatha has lived every day of the last nine years with her sisters: they work together, laugh together, pray together. Their world is contained within the little house they share. The four of them are devoted to Mother Roberta and to their quiet, purposeful life. But when the parish goes broke, the sisters are forced to move. They land in Woonsocket, a former mill town now dotted with wind turbines. They take over the care of a halfway house, where they live alongside their charges, such as the jawless Tim Gary and the headstrong Lawnmower Jill. Agatha is forced to venture out into the world alone to teach math at a local all-girls high school, where for the first time in years she has to reckon all on her own with what she sees and feels. Who will she be if she isn’t with her sisters? These women, the church, have been her home. Or has she just been hiding? Disarming, delightfully deadpan, and full of searching, Claire Luchette’s Agatha of Little Neon offers a view into the lives of women and the choices they make.

The bar has been raised (and fully stocked). With two previous books of poems already published, young and talented Janette Voski has set herself a challenging task, to write 24 pieces-one for each hour of a full day-continuing her pursuit of perfection, revealing yet again the depth of her heart and soul, with a beautifully, and uniquely expressed revelation of love. Voski's polished prose and poetic verse take us hour by hour, full circle through a love tinged with beauty, depth and honesty. As well as recognition, there are some big questions too. She will make you wonder and wish ... you will be pondering your own day while walking through hers. In Neon Sun, Voski reflects on the way she believes love should be celebrated. The love that does not know forever but commits to every now. Make it yours.
