Francesca Jakobi recommends
Him (2018)
Clare Empson
"Him is dark, gripping, original and totally heartbreaking. Clare Empson writes like a dream: taut and sophisticated, not a word wasted. I loved this book."
The Necessary Marriage (2018)
Elisa Lodato
"I adored this tale of two very different marriages. Beautifully written, utterly compelling, and so tense, I was gripped from page one."
