Gabriella Burnham’s standalone novels are works of literary fiction that center on women navigating identity, displacement, and quiet upheaval. Her debut, It Is Wood, It Is Stone, drew attention for its layered portrayal of an American expatriate’s life in Brazil, while her follow-up, Wait, further explores themes of longing and connection.
Both books share Burnham’s gift for depicting relationships under pressure and for capturing the particular disorientation of living far from home. Readers who enjoy character-driven literary fiction with an international setting will find her work worth exploring.
