About M**der at La Valette - This is Cara Black's 21st in her Aimeé Leduc mystery series. Each one introducing us to a different neighborhood of Paris.

About What You Don't Know Will Make A Whole New World - Dorothy Lazard, acclaimed Oakland Library Head Librarian and archivist, has written a memoir covering her childhood migration from a St. Louis orphanage to coming of age in Oakland and San Francisco in the late '60s to '70s. The memoir is described as underscoring the power of witnessing history through a personal lens (Hannah Bae, San Francisco Chronicle).
About A Map of Future Ruins - In 2021, Lauren Markham went to Greece in search of her own heritage and to cover the aftermath of a fire that burned down the largest refugee camp in Europe. The New York Times calls the book “An expansive meditation on the roles of myth and politics in the stories we construct about our origins.”
About In This Ravishing World - Nina Schuyler's work is a series of short stories, all of which take place in the Bay area, connected by the theme of climate change. The Chronicle describes the stories as engrossing and eloquently linked. The book was awarded the W.S. Porter Prize for Short Story Collections and the Prism Prize for Climate Literature.
