Stella Duffy recommends
The Depths of the Forest (2002)
(Ricardo Cupido, book 1)
Eugenio Fuentes
"Falling in love with a dead woman has never seemed so possible - or so strange."
The Naked Season (2003)
Kira Cochrane
"Sharp,witty and entertaining...There's hope for the 'girl- power' girls after all!"
The Binding (2018)
Bridget Collins
"Intriguing, thought-provoking and heartbreaking … what a gorgeous book."
Sankofa (2021)
Chibundu Onuzo
"Wonderful. Poignant and powerful and so timely and the beautiful ending had me in tears, reminding me to look within as well as without for my answers."
The Second Cut (2022)
(Rilke, book 2)
Louise Welsh
"Twenty years is a long time to wait for a 'sequel' but Louise Welsh has made the wait completely worthwhile. In Welsh's writing, Rilke's world remains recognisably queer - not sanitised, not tidied, not safe before the watershed - and all the better for it."
Mother's Boy (2022)
Patrick Gale
"Patrick Gale always writes so well of his men and of the women near them. In Mother's Boy his women shine as brightly as the men, his characters age and grow by themselves, alive in their actions, hopes and losses."
