Michelle de Kretser recommends
The Better Son (2016)
Katherine Johnson
"The Better Son maps an emotional landscape as shifting and precarious as the Limestone Country so splendidly evoked here. Katherine Johnson is a sure-footed guide to lives hallowed out by secrets that reach deep into the past."
The Mission House (2020)
Carys Davies
"Tender, playful, piercing, light-footed—this is an irresistible novel."
