2026 book 55

 Portia Elan’s Homebound

What a beautiful story. It’s set in three different times, with three different protagonists (all are Jewish women)—one in 1983, a college student whose uncle has just died of AIDS; one in the near future, a scientist working to restore ecosystems; and one in the far future, who captains a rundown ship and takes on some unusual passengers to pay a debt. All are compelling on their own, but once they start to come together… chef’s kiss. I was pretty teary by the end, but in a sort of nice way? The main message here is the importance of community and I’m here for it. Highly recommend. A.
