Elizabeth Fremantle recommends

A Schooling in Murder (2025)
Andrew Taylor
"Taylor evokes beautifully the tawdry atmosphere, the cast of misfits and the relationships and love affairs that must be hidden, with a lightness of touch that belies the deeper tragic elements of the story. This is a novel of immense charm."
thumb
Madame Matisse (2025)
Sophie Haydock
"Madame Matisse is a fascinating portrait of three extraordinary women whose lives were shaped by the conflicts, hardships and upheavals of early twentieth century Europe. Each of these distinctly different women are linked by the man they all loved, Henry Matisse. While he created a new aesthetic, they each carved their own rules, flying in the face of society's restrictive expectations. Sophie Haydock, in her restrained and precise style, has written a worthy follow up to The Flames."

The King's Mother (2024)
Annie Garthwaite
"Breathes life into these women, wives, daughters and mothers. It is rare that historical fiction is so immersive and transporting."
