Matt Haig recommends
We Used to Be Kings (2014)
Stewart Foster
"A very powerful book, written with a poignant intensity that often burns."
Charm Offensive (2014)
William Thacker
"I'm always a sucker for redemption stories but this one is highly entertaining life affirming and -yes -charming. On this evidence. William Thacker is a name you will hear a lot more often."
Meatspace (2014)
Nikesh Shukla
"Meatspace is funny. Damn funny. You should really switch off your computer and read it."
Hold Back the Stars (2017)
Katie Khan
"A high-stakes, high-concept love story from a bold new talent . . . All of the obvious 'out of this world' comments apply."
The Summer Of Impossible Things (2017)
Rowan Coleman
"A lovely, magical, time-bending read...There is a lovely smooth glow to the writing."
Tin Man (2017)
Sarah Winman
"This is an astoundingly beautiful book. It drips with tenderness. It breaks your heart and warms it all at once."
