The Glossary of Bread, by Elizabeth Baines. Growing up in the British isles, seen through its fermented comestibles. Very moving and interestingly written.

Mrs. Rinaldi's Angel by Thomas Ligotti (whom I've admittedly never heard of before). A horror story, so be warned. A boy who suffers from vivid dreams is taken to see a spiritualist. To say more would be to spoil the story. Beautifully written (if a bit old-fashionedly verbose); manages to terrify without ghosts or monsters or physical danger, as well as to present quite thought-provoking worldbuilding. I would love to have written this.
