Rachel Hore recommends
The Porcelain Maker (2023)
Sarah Freethy
"A standout novel of heartbreak, survival and hope in time of war. Gripping, beautifully written, The Porcelain Maker is destined to be a huge bestseller."
A Beautiful Rival (2023)
Gill Paul
"A fascinating tale of two determined, glamorous businesswomen locked in a battle for supremacy. Gill Paul is a mistress of the fictional historical biography."
The Secret Shore (2023)
Liz Fenwick
"This page-turning novel of ambition, love and duty in wartime Cornwall is arguably Liz Fenwick's best book to date. Merry is a wonderful narrator, a fascinating and complex woman having to find her way in a man's world. It's beautifully researched and the life and landscape of the secret part of Cornwall around the Helford river gloriously evoked. What a pleasure to read!"
The Walled Garden (2023)
Sarah Hardy
"A heartbreaking tale, vividly dramatised, wise and well-observed about the traumatic effects of war on survivors and their families in the little Suffolk community where it's set. The characters are splendid - they blaze from the page - and the author writes beautifully and knowledgeably about the natural world. A splendid debut!"
Hold My Girl (2023)
Charlene Carr
"A tender and absorbing novel with engaging characters that twists the heart. It's unafraid to address difficult issues that go to the core of what makes us human."
