This one’s a contender for my favorite book of the year. Gilda, our narrator, is a gay woman who accidentally got a job at a Catholic church as a secretary. Her predecessor died under slightly suspicious circumstances, and Gilda’s life zig-zags around as she becomes obsessed with this woman whose personal emails she now reads and occasionally responds to. It’s a book that is so wonderfully written that a synopsis will never do it justice. Just read it.
