Lissa Evans recommends
The Three Graces (2023)
Amanda Craig
"Gorgeous and generous... rich with characters and suffused with sunlight. It has so much to say on age - the three graces of the title are all over eighty; wonderful to have elderly characters, so usually marginal, right at the centre of the plot."
Pet (2023)
Catherine Chidgey
"A remarkable and original writer, whose novels have the golden combination of being both riveting and superbly written."
To Battersea Park (2023)
Philip Hensher
"An utterly engrossing skein of narratives, beautifully written and often disturbing."
