Emma Knight recommends
The Three Graces of Pearl Street (2026)
Elizabeth Wellington Rollins
"The Three Graces of Pearl Street is life-affirming, brimming with wisdom, grace, and humour, and utterly delightful. While exploring the cultural and generational divides within a fractious but tight-knit family, Elizabeth Wellington Rollins gives us a character for the ages in Graziella Valentini. This big-hearted, sharp-tongued, lion-cane-wielding nonna will remain a voice in my head for a long time to come. I didn't want it to end."
The Wild Beneath (2026)
Kelly Anderson
"An incandescent debut. Kelly Anderson pares the world down to its essentials and reminds us of the beauty and mystery of being alive...I did not want to come up for air."
People in Love (2026)
Claire Daverley
"People in Love is magnificent. Claire Daverley is uniquely alert to the texture of a life, both internal and external, and renders it in such detail that one has the pleasure of fully inhabiting her characters. Not only their days - their living rooms and kitchens - but also their families, their memories, and their hearts. Daverley writes with wisdom, kindness, and humor about the glory and pain of love in all its forms. I am particularly admiring of the depth and complexity of her characters and of the beauty she finds in their humanity."
