Jessie Burton recommends
Welcome to Glorious Tuga (2024)
(Tuga Trilogy, book 1)
Francesca Segal
"Sparkling and sophisticated, Welcome To Glorious Tuga is a rare joy. With a cast of complex characters who will restore your belief in humanity, and a tropical setting to escape into, Francesca Segal's novel reminded me of the pleasures to be had in reading. Profound and comic by turns, she has made us an offering of light, and I would recommend every reader take it."
Enlightenment (2024)
Sarah Perry
"Sarah Perry has the rare gift of committing the uncommittable to prose - that is to say: here is a writer who understands life."
This is Why We Can't Have Nice Things (2024)
Naomi Wood
"Humane and very funny, a story that understands out emotional and intellectual storms, and the generosity we are capable of that will keep us all afloat."
