Danielle Giles recommends

Little Wild (2026)
Laura Evans
"Little Wild is a country house novel with claws. Told in spiky, glittering prose, Laura Evans brings us into a world of simmering class tensions and long-buried secrets. As Margaret and Joanie's plan unravels in the sweltering, claustrophobic heat, the novel shape-shifts into something almost mythical in its beauty and strangeness."

The Art of a Lie (2025)
Laura Shepherd-Robinson
"An astonishing historical thriller: artful, wry and unflinching. Laura Shepherd-Robinson invites us to 18th century London both sumptuous and sinister, where no-one is what they first seem. With twists that are as exquisitely constructed as any Georgian confection, I utterly devoured this."

The Tarot Reader of Versailles (2025)
Anya Bergman
"I was totally swept up in this epic story of fate and betrayal, love and intrigue. As the two women fight for their futures and ideals in a world in which everything is turned upside down, every twist left me reeling. Bergman effortlessly conjures the glittering excess of Versailles and the heady ideals of revolutionary Paris. Opulent and gripping, this novel is clear-sighted about the costs of revolution, and the people who get left behind."
