Joanna Glen recommends

An Unlikely Visitor (2026)
Joanna Cannon
"A novel that appears to be telling Margaret and Derek's poignant story becomes, in Joanna Cannon's gifted hands, a profound reflection on the human condition, and therein lie the joy and the magic... We are left marvelling at how extraordinary ordinary people can be, and what a wonder it is to live and love at all."

The Shock of the Light (2026)
Lori Inglis Hall
"A beautiful and devastating story of love and loss and broken bonds. Through twins Tessa and Theo, Lori Inglis Hall brilliantly conjures the ambience of wartime, capturing the quiet and prolonged agony of not knowing the fate of those we love."

Love Forms (2025)
Claire Adam
"I was moved and mesmerised by this beautifully crafted novel. Claire Adam draws us effortlessly into the unsettling heart of Dawn Bishop's story, a story in which love and pain co-exist, connect, even merge. From the first page to the last, we touch a real human being living a real human life."
