Claire Daverley recommends

All Grown Up (2026)
Daisy Buchanan
"This was simply joyful . . . Full of heart, and the knottier realities of motherhood - with moments of such emotional heft - this is a warm hug of a novel that is going to make thousands of people both happy and tearful (in the best way)."

The Names (2025)
Florence Knapp
"Haunting and heartfelt; I couldn't look away from this emotionally charged story of fate, family and heart-shattering what ifs."

The Life Cycle of the Common Octopus (2025)
Emma Knight
"Addictive, nostalgic and comforting, this layered family mystery crept round my heart like a modern-day Dodie Smith."
