Edward Carey recommends
The Evolution of Bruno Littlemore (2011)
Benjamin Hale
"An enormous, glorious rattlebag of a book... a yelping, bouncing, pleading, longing, lost, loony, bleeding, pleading, laughing, beseeching wonder."
The Bird's Child (2016)
Sandra Leigh Price
"A wonderful, strange, glittering book, full of astounding imagination, glorious really."
The Book of Hidden Wonders (2020)
Polly Crosby
"An extraordinary debut. Polly Crosby has created an expertly crafted jigsaw puzzle, beautiful, dark, haunting and unforgettable. It is a most wonderfully tender nightmare, a haunted house childhood where the landscape gets ever stranger, a deeply affecting portrait of the climb towards adulthood. Nostalgic, familiar and yet utterly strange. I loved it."
