crafted around lies and family secrecy for a powerful effect," including:The Tenth Girl, by Sara Faring – This haunting, gothic, spooky, lushly narrated novel is one that I was recently lucky to read in an advanced copy format and one I absolutely adore. It takes place at the tip of Argentina in a haunted all-girl prep school. The owner and headmistress has a fabled and mysterious family legacy; the nineteen-year-old protagonist also feels the need to keep her own family history of political dissidence, as well as her age, a secret when she shows up to teach at the school. If you like gorgeous prose and magical elements in ghost-inhabited fiction, this is one to pre-order immediately—it’s so good.Read about another entry on the list.
