Jessie Burton recommends
Sweet Heat (2025)
Bolu Babalola
"Inventive, intimate, witty and wise, Babalola's irresistible explorations uplift you from the start. Here is love as freedom, love as deep joy. Romance will never be dead, as long as she's writing it."
Ripeness (2025)
Sarah Moss
"This book felt to me like I was reading the achievement of a lifetime, written by one of the best writers alive. Moving, unexpected, masterful, it is a story of stories, of belonging, of exits and entrances, and everything in between. Moss's understanding of who her characters are is also her understanding of all of us. A beautiful, powerful read that echoed for me long after."
Rapture (2024)
Emily Maguire
"A spectacular story of shape-shifting, love and faith . . . It enthralled me."
