Finalist for the Kirkus Prize for Fiction. A modern-day story of family, loss, and renewal, Halsey Street captures the deeply human need to belongโnot only to a place but to one another. Penelope Grand has scrapped her failed career as an artist in Pittsburgh and moved back to Brooklyn to keep an eye on her ailing father. Sheโs accepted that her future wonโt be what sheโd dreamed, but now, as gentrification has completely reshaped her old neighborhood, even her past is unrecognizable. Old haunts have been razed, and wealthy white strangers have replaced every familiar face in Bed-Stuy. Even her mother, Mirella, has abandoned the family to reclaim her roots in the Dominican Republic. That took courage. Itโs also unforgivable. When Penelope moves into the attic apartment of the affluent Harpers, she thinks sheโs found a semblance of familyโand maybe even love. But her world is upended again when she receives a postcard from Mirella asking for reconciliation. As old wounds are reopened, and secrets revealed, a journey across an ocean of sacrifice and self-discovery begins. An engrossing debut, Halsey Street shifts between the perspectives of these two captivating, troubled women. Mirella has one last chance to win back the heart of the daughter sheโd lost long before leaving New York, and for Penelope, itโs time to break free of the hold of the past and start navigating her own life.
