Wendy Erskine recommends
Rare Singles (2024)
Benjamin Myers
"Myers is the laureate of friendship, a chronicler of unexpected, transformative connection ... So how beautiful to read something so affirming and full of light, and to have music, ephemeral as it might be, presented as precious and transformational."
Sanderson's Isle (2023)
James Clarke
"Psychedelic 1960s London, TV personalities, counterculture in the Lake District, a lost child! Wasn't I always going to love this book? And what a magnificent experience it is in its rendering of isolation and belonging, its precise evocation of place and time."
Close to Home (2023)
Michael Magee
"Ringing out clear and true as a bell, it gleams with tenderness and perception. There are few narrators so unassuming and unaffected, yet so full of sharp intelligence."
