Polly Crosby recommends

The Fascination (2023)
Essie Fox
"A dizzying potion of a novel. Take one sip and enter a world of colour and fear, of the grotesque and the gorgeous. A story about acceptance and family, and about love in all of its glorious forms."

This Family (2023)
Kate Sawyer
"A gorgeous novel, peppered with the nostalgic joy and tension of one messy family."

Fyneshade (2023)
Kate Griffin
"Stunning. With a refreshingly complex protagonist and a story as richly threaded as the tapestries within the beautiful rooms of Fyneshade itself, the novel left me guessing its secrets till the very end."

The Hollow Sea (2022)
Annie Kirby
"An incredibly beautiful story, shot through with shimmering myth, sorrow and hope."

To Fill a Yellow House (2022)
Sussie Anie
"Stunning . . . a lyrical meditation on city life, creativity and loss, and the hope that can spring from an unlikely friendship."
