Sarah Brooks recommends
Beasts of the Sea (2025)
Iida Turpeinen
"A gorgeous, thought-provoking book about the consequences of the human exploration of the natural world. Its narrative moves through lives and times, with sailors, hunters, naturalists, and artists all playing their part."
Saltcrop (2025)
Yume Kitasei
"Saltcrop's near-future world of blight and corporate greed is terrifyingly plausible, but this is a story of resilience and survival, and of the strength of family bonds. The novel finds beauty in the natural world, even as it is exploited and threatened, and it finds hope in the messy, relatable, and life-affirming love between the Shimizu sisters. Urgent and gorgeously written, Saltcrop is an adventure, a family drama, an ecological thriller, and above all a story of ordinary humans doing extraordinary things."
The Woman in the Wallpaper (2025)
Lora Jones
"A gorgeous, haunting story of how love, ideals, and art can become twisted but also how they can survive."
