Amanda Craig recommends
thumb
The Square of Sevens (2023)
Laura Shepherd-Robinson
"A gorgeously written and plotted Georgian thriller with elements of Moll Flanders, theatre, cartomancy, and Bath. It's as absorbing as Charles Palliser's The Quincunx."
thumb
Speak to Me (2023)
Paula Cocozza
"There are three of us in this - you, me and your mobile. How many couples have said this to each other? Paula Cocozza's witty, wry new novel is sharp as a skewer about the devices and desires in many modern marriages. I loved it."
thumb
The Choice (2023)
Michael Arditti
"At a time when British fiction has never been more timorous about tackling novels of ideas, Michael Arditti has produced one worthy of Iris Murdoch and Graham Greene . . . Brilliantly ambiguous, waspishly witty and thoroughly enjoyable, this is Michael Arditti's own masterpiece to date."
