About SPEAKING OF SUMMER:
A literary thriller about one woman's desperate search for her missing twin sister, a multi-layered mystery set against the neighborhoods of Harlem.

On a cold December evening, Autumn Spencer's twin sister Summer walks to the roof of their shared Harlem brownstone and is never seen again―the door to the roof is locked, and no footsteps are found. Faced with authorities indifferent to another missing woman, Autumn must pursue answers on her own, all while grieving her mother's recent death.

With her friends and neighbors, Autumn pretends to hold up through the crisis. She falls into an affair with Summer's boyfriend to cope with the disappearance of a woman they both loved. But the loss becomes too great, the mystery too inexplicable, and Autumn starts to unravel, all the while becoming obsessed with murdered women and the men who kill them.

In Speaking of Summer, critically acclaimed author Kalisha Buckhanon has created a postmodern, fast-paced story of urban peril and victim invisibility, and the fight to discover truth at any cost.

The bad news is Kalisha's profile here on Goodreads has experienced an unexplained technical error to prevent it from being viewed for the past week. Apparently, Goodreads' developers are aware of the problem and working to get it back up online. You may still rate, review and shelve all the books.

But in the meantime, check out this tremendously encouraging compilation from Ms. Magazine: 2019 Books for the Rest of Us." Speaking of Summer is included in Dr. Karla Strand's definitive guide to this year's works written by women.
