The Echoes (2024)
Evie Wyld
"I loved this book. Evie Wyld moves effortlessly through times, places and people with a relentless, brutal, compassionate attention. I am in awe of her control over detail, emotion, and plot - and the way she shows us how we understand the personal through the local and the historical."

Calypso (2024)
Oliver K Langmead
"It's been a long time since I've read a book so bold and lush, so skilled at making and remaking vibrant and richly imagined worlds, and yet so attentive to vulnerability - it was such an ultimately tender read."
thumb
The Gospel of Orla (2023)
Eoghan Walls
"The Gospel of Orla is an astonishing feat of characterisation and storytelling. The prose is both earthy and sparkling and the story--equal parts bravado and vulnerability--is told with both wit and tenderness. Everyone should read this."
