Imogen Hermes Gowar recommends
Whale Fall (2024)
Elizabeth O'Connor
"Mesmerizing. A novel with such presence, both wild and still: utterly exquisite."
Glorious Exploits (2024)
Ferdia Lennon
"What a truly magnificent novel this is: in turns riotous, brutal and deeply affecting. I am in no doubt that Ferdia Lennon is the real deal. His captivating storytelling resonates with all the beauty of Euripides' plays."
For Thy Great Pain Have Mercy on My Little Pain (2023)
Victoria MacKenzie
"For Thy Great Pain Have Mercy on My Little Pain is a novel of rare brightness and clarity, concise and yet capacious: it illuminates the meeting of two extraordinary women like a shaft of sunlight."
