Mary Chamberlain recommends
The Nightingale's Castle (2024)
Sonia Velton
"I was blown away by this dark, enchanting story of witchcraft, power and injustice. The writing is exquisite, the atmosphere of late 16th century Hungary magnificently evoked with all its forbidding secrets, sinister machinations and heart wrenching detail. I was gripped from start to finish. The Nightingale's Castle is a triumph of story-telling and nothing short of brilliant."
The House of Whispers (2023)
Anna Mazzola
"A gripping, thrilling story which had me hooked from the start, as the terrifying reality of fascism in pre-war Italy is increasingly entwined in an anguished marriage."
Theatre of Marvels (2022)
Lianne Dillsworth
"A startling, original and utterly compelling novel which subtly navigates the core issues of race, gender and class."
