The New Order by Karen E. Bender

5.0

I love the way Bender leads you calmly down a well-worn path with a flashlight, shines a light on the small, simple everyday then grabs your wrist while she takes you for a unexpected twist. Her stunning and subtle prose makes you curious; every story somehow slowly and thoughtfully blooms before you as though you have uncovered a gem as it first catches the light.
