At a time when it feels like we’re at the end of the world, this novel about a different kind of end of the world serves as both catharsis and escape. Migrations follow a mysterious woman who talks her way onto a northbound ship to chase the world’s last migration of Arctic terns. Here’s hoping we’re done quarantining by the time this one is released in August, but if not, we can trust Charlotte McConaghy’s U.S. debut to help tide us over.
