Monica Brashears’ HOUSE OF COTTON received a wonderful review from Booklist. Reviewer Allison Escoto writes: "[S]tartling, vivid, and impressive...Brashears has written a lush, pictorial, and often steamy novel with an indelible heroine. Coupling classic gothic elements with a realistic portrayal of the issues facing a young, poor, Black woman with few options, the novel’s many strengths culminate in a powerful and original story that will appeal to a variety of readers across fiction genres." Flatiron Books will publish HOUSE OF COTTON on April 4, 2023.
