Christina Schwarz’s five standalone novels share a focus on families haunted by the past. Drowning Ruth and The Edge of the Earth are both set in earlier eras, while All is Vanity and So Long at the Fair take a more contemporary approach. Bonnie, her most recent novel, moves between time periods.
Each book stands on its own, and Schwarz shifts settings and time periods enough to keep her work from feeling repetitive. Readers who enjoy literary fiction with psychological depth and a sense of place will find her novels rewarding.
