Meg Howrey and Namwali Serpell are @todayshow Seasons Readings book recommendations by @jasminepics and @isaac.fitzgerald ! THEY’RE GOING TO LOVE YOU, Meg Howrey “This book had a hold on me from the very beginning and didn’t let go,” Guillory says. Written by a former professional ballerina, the book is a story of a ballet dancer and her estranged father, and what caused the estrangement. “The writing is masterful and the story is completely absorbing,” she says. THE FURROWS by Namwali Serpell For Fitzgerald, Namwali Serpell’s “The Furrows” is “undoubtedly one of the best novels of the year.” The book is a “beautiful rumination on grief and how it can haunt us through our lives,” according to the author. The story follows a young girl who loses her brother, only to — years later — meet a man who might somehow be him. It begins with an image of her on the beach, trying to save her brother before he drowns—or does he? “You’ll be in great hands—her writing sparkles here at every turn, the scenes are eerily memorable and the emotions deeply felt. This is the book to gift to the serious reader in your life, someone who loves to lean into truly daring fiction,” he says. #theyregoingtoloveyou #meghowrey #thefurrows #namwaliserpell
