'Sparta' by Roxana Robinson

'The Ocean at the End of the Lane' by Neil Gaiman

'The Impossible Lives of Greta Wells' by Andrew Sean Greer

When Vi predicts a devastating earthquake is around the corner, Kate must decide whether to support her sister and out herself for the potential good of the community, or continue to ignore her own instincts.
