Pat Barker recommends
The Telling (1998)
Miranda Seymour
"One of the most skillful depictions of the power of evil I have read for a long time."
The Porpoise (2019)
Mark Haddon
"Staggeringly ambitious, innovative, beautifully written... The Porpoise has the pace of a really good thriller, but combined with a subtlety and depth that few thrillers possess."
When We Were Birds (2022)
Ayanna Lloyd Banwo
"Combining the richness of myth with razor-sharp observation of contemporary life, When We Were Birds marks the emergence of a distinctive and powerful voice."
