Once in a rare while, a book comes along that redefines a genre for you, or challenges your understanding of effective storytelling, or compels you to stare down the unthinkable to deepen your understanding of trauma and systemic ills. Even more rarely, a book does all of the above. I’m recommending one such title and it happens to be one of my most anticipated books of 2026. It took me longer than expected to finish this much-discussed literary mystery novel because sexual assault and abuse of minors is the open wound at its center and the content can be triggering. I’m a mom of two daughters; you bet I had to take breaks to ensure I was ready for the next unblinking look at assault through a child’s eyes.
