Eleanor Catton recommends
Flashlight (2025)
Susan Choi
"In this superbly crafted book, the fraught geopolitics of family life-the official secrets, the acts of espionage, the diplomatic failures-are set against the intimacies, grievances, conflicting memories, and unmet needs of national allegiance. Ferociously smart and full of surprises, Flashlight is thrilling to the last."
Ripeness (2025)
Sarah Moss
"Sex and childbirth, emigrant and exile, the present and the past: Sarah Moss's ambidextrous talent is evident on every page of this elegant novel. It is intelligent, but never disembodied; evocative, but never sentimental; honest, but never cruel. Ripeness is a book of tart and lasting pleasures."
The Ministry of Time (2024)
Kaliane Bradley
"An outrageously brilliant debut. . . This is already the best new book I will have read next year."
