Bright Burning Things
by Lisa Harding
 Irish novelist Lisa Harding, winner of the Kate O'Brien Award for her debut Harvesting, plunges readers into the harrowing struggle of a single mother consumed by alcoholism in a searing story that combines the intensity of Shuggie Bain with the all-consuming parent-child relationship of Room. HarperCollins associate publisher Tara Parsons enthuses, "Rarely have I read such an exhilarating, sensory, infuriating, raw story," adding that its themes are especially impactful considering recent news about "the rise in alcoholism during Covid and how mommy wine culture has exploded into dangerous territory. Lisa's unflinching account of a mother's addiction and recovery does not pull any punches, even as it dazzles us with its prose." Rich with layered character dynamics and unexpected turns, Bright Burning Things is riveting. --Jaclyn Fulwood
