Eleanor Catton recommends
Venus, Vanishing (2026)
Rebecca Birrell
"This vivid novel of 1930s Berlin asks what it means to make art in an emergency. A skilful and loving restoration of Jewish art and women's lives."
A Little Bit Bad (2026)
Cassandra Neyenesch
"So charismatic and confiding; I felt as if I'd found my new (and very bad) best friend."
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."
