Sarah Dunant recommends
Canticle (2025)
Janet Rich Edwards
"Janet Rich Edwards has written a brave, intense novel about the mystical nature of a young woman's faith and how easily it can find itself in opposition to politics and entrenched power."
The Shining Mountains (2023)
Alix Christie
"The Shining Mountains takes its history seriously. Love, treachery, violence, and honour, it is all here in a novel to be savoured."
A Net for Small Fishes (2021)
Lucy Jago
"A terrific first novel, rich in colour, character, place, and time. If you like your history spiced with sex, scandal, and the sweet sensibilities of female friendship, then this is for you."
