Sarah Dunant recommends
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."
Meet Me At the Museum (2018)
Anne Youngson
"A wise and tender novel. Proof that the richest fruits come on the edge of autumn."
A New Map of Love (2017)
Abi Oliver
"A New Map of Love is an acute and beguiling study of life, love and the endless flat footed dance of men and women."
Island of a Thousand Mirrors (2012)
Nayomi Munaweera
"A compelling coming of age tale in paradise lost; a novel of the heart and a feast for the senses."
The Bells (2010)
Richard Harvell
"The Bells does for the ears what Perfume did for the node. A novel to engage the senses as well as tickle the mind."
