Claire Heywood recommends
Savage Beasts (2023)
Rani Selvarajah
"Absorbing and thoughtful - full of page-turning drama and vibrantly drawn characters."
The Last Tale of the Flower Bride (2023)
Roshani Chokshi
"The Last Tale of the Flower Bride is a novel steeped in tradition - from the gothic genre through world myths and fairy stories - and yet it weaves itself into something fresh and original. I very much enjoyed Chokshi's exploration of the enchantments that can exist within human relationships, the subtleties of friendship, the stories we tell to ourselves, and the lengths we will go to belong. A beautifully conjured tale."
