New and upcoming books
Seth Insua recommends

Send Flowers (2025)
Emily Buchanan
"Witty, original and aching with feeling, Send Flowers is the prescient story of a lapsed, grieving activist, who must fall back in love with her mission, her values and with herself. Buchanan has made a powerful contribution to the new body of climate fiction, both illuminating the curse of caring too much and warning us of the dire consequences of caring too little. A novel for our times."

The Artist (2025)
Lucy Steeds
"Phenomenal . . . beautiful, pacey historical fiction, vividly realised. It drifts with the scent of summer, the land lit up and throbbing, the food piled high and richly painted, the paint as thick and buttery as food. I wanted to eat it. Yes, I even wanted to eat the paint. Read this book!"

Isaac (2024)
Curtis Garner
"In elegant prose, Garner explores the destabilising power of first loves, the heady danger of falling for somebody at an age when we're prone to idealism and haven't yet grown into our identity and desires. A sexy, unflinching debut. I loved it!"
