The Wildest Sun (Dutton/Penguin Random House, 2023), a new novel from bestselling author Asha Lemmie, follows the story of Delphine Auber, an aspiring writer on the cusp of adulthood, who embarks on a journey to find the father she has never known. She believes her father is larger-than-life literary figure Ernest Hemingway and her quest takes her from Paris to New York’s Harlem, to Havana and Key West. She desperately yearns for his approval, as both a daughter and a writer, convinced that he holds the key to who she’s truly meant to be. Lemmie is a 2015 Boston College graduate whose debut novel, Fifty Words for Rain, was a New York Times bestseller and a “Good Morning America” Book Club pick.
