The Possible World by Liese O’Halloran SchwarzRead about another entry on the list.
At the heart of this tremendous, genre-spanning multi-generational novel is the devastating hurricane of 1938 and Clare, one of three narrators of the book. She tells her story, with all of its dark and terrible secrets, in 2018 as she approaches her hundredth birthday. Schwarz’s ability to bring character and scene into full dimension is extraordinary, and we are with Clare every step of the way through the storm and its aftermath. There are many surprising twists in this novel, and when Clare finally reveals the truth about what happened that fateful day, the payoff is unbelievably satisfying.
