"Wait: A Novel" by Gabriella Burnham is a poignant and tender exploration of family, identity, and social issues. The story centers around Elise, who returns to her childhood home on Nantucket Island after her mother is deported to Brazil. As Elise reunites with her younger sister Sophie, they navigate the challenges of their fractured family, the harsh realities of immigration systems, and the contrasting worlds of Nantucket’s elite and its undocumented immigrants.
The novel has been praised for its insightful portrayal of class disparities and the emotional struggles of the characters. Reviewer Zeja Z. Copes from Booklist commended Burnham's "disconcertingly accurate insights on class," and noted that the story is both whimsical and poignant, making it a book that readers will want to revisit repeatedly (PenguinRandomhouse.com) (Janklow and Nesbit).
"Wait" is scheduled for release on May 21, 2024, by One World and promises to be a compelling read for those interested in stories about resilience, love, and the complexities of family dynamics (Kirkus Reviews).
