The #1 New York Times bestselling novel
Wings Like Dust
"Claire's words cut through the heart like a serrated blade and makes you wonder about life and everything in between."

New release
Wings Like Dust
In the quiet suburbs of a city that never sleeps, Arton Sam appears to be living an ordinary life—until a single letter arrives that dismantles everything he thought he knew about the people closest to him. As long-buried family secrets surface, Arton is forced to confront the invisible distances we keep even from those we love most. With luminous prose and unflinching tenderness, Wings Like Dust explores the fragile architecture of memory, the weight of what remains unspoken, and the quiet courage required to begin again.
Praise for Wings Like Dust
"Monet proves again that she is unmatched in revealing the quiet ruptures that define a life.”
