Katie Hale recommends
Idol, Burning (2022)
Rin Usami
"A vivid depiction of the joys and despairs of teenage fan culture, Idol, Burning is urgent and all-consuming . . . In this passionate and compassionate novel, the voice of teenage desperation sings out."
Orpheus Builds a Girl (2022)
Heather Parry
"A tale of anguished and obsessive love, with a darker version of the truth scattered through it like shrapnel. In her unsettling debut, Heather Parry explores what it means to love and to live - which of our stories linger after death, and which remain impossible to hold. Sumptuously written and impossible to step away from, Orpheus Builds a Girl is a haunting melody of a book, which keeps playing long after the final page."
there are more things (2022)
Yara Rodrigues Fowler
"A phenomenal story of two women, revolution, and finding a place in the world. A book of epic scope & intricate detail. Stunning"
