Porcupines

Spectacular ... Destined to become an instant classic. Hollywood! Budapest! The Berlin Wall! A goulash made of diamonds, pearls and gold!

Adriana Trigiani, bestselling author of The View From Lake Como

Porcupines manages the rarest of things: depicting beautifully complex characters, while simultaneously providing a deeply comforting world. The best debut I’ve read this year

Grace Murray, author of Blank Canvas

Funny, acerbic, and wonderfully playful, Porcupines is a brilliant, cross-generational portrait of an immigrant family constantly assailed by whether they are American enough, Hungarian enough or Jewish enough. It's completely delicious: a novel to sink into

Naomi Wood, author of Mrs. Hemingway

Perfect for Elif Batuman fans, this is a wonderfully warm, witty read about mothers and daughters, sisters and lovers, migration and belonging, and what it truly means to feel at home. I loved it

Julianne Pachico, author of The Jungle House

An acutely and deftly told story of family … Wise, emotive and funny, Fran Fabriczki is a beautiful writer who writes sisterhood and motherhood so well I felt like could reach out and touch her characters

Ore Agbaje-Williams, author of The Three of Us

A haunting, funny and compulsively readable novel about the intricacies of family, loss and trust

Chloe Caldwell, author of Women

If Gilmore Girls had sharper edges and came with a Los Angeles sunburn, you’d have this riveting novel, a love letter to kids who are done keeping their parents’ secrets

Courtney Maum, author of I Am Having So Much Fun Here Without You
