Remember reading Alice in Wonderland or Harry Potter by flashlight under the covers when you were a kid? I loved stories like that because they could sweep me away into an inventive alternate universe. This week’s Heartbeat story delights me for the exact same reason. Katalina Gamarra transports skeptical Marta de Armas to the realm of Atalanta where she meets someone who forces her to question deeply-buried dreams.

In August, Gamarra published her debut novel, Ben & Beatriz, a Latinx retelling of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing set in the early days of the Trump presidency. It was shortlisted for the New England Book Award. Ready to dive into her world?
