Jim Crace recommends
thumb
Sparrow (2023)
James Hynes
"A novel of ancient times for our times. And it is splendid, a work of sorching distinction."
thumb
Once Upon a River (2018)
Diane Setterfield
"This is magical, bewitching story telling – and so cleverly structured…it possesses all those narrative values I have always cherished…: high prose expressed with rare clarity, story for the unashamed sake of story, a kind of moral dreaminess."
thumb
The End We Start From (2017)
Megan Hunter
"I can't remember ever having read a novel quite as sparing or as daring as Megan Hunter's The End We Start From, or one that delivers so mighty an impact from such delicate materials. It is a moving, wistful and compelling debut."
