Caroline Lea recommends

The Tarot Reader of Versailles (2025)
Anya Bergman
"A complex, epic and engrossing tale, which is part emotive love story with a fantastical edge, part fascinating historical exploration of the French Revolution and part compulsive revenge story, which holds the reader captive throughout. . . . The voices of these two women who find themselves caught up in the heady and dangerous world of the Revolution are beautifully drawn."

The Sunshine Man (2025)
Emma Stonex
"Gripping, heartbreaking, and one of the most psychologically complex thrillers I've ever read."

The Book of Secrets (2024)
Anna Mazzola
"Beautiful, elegant, sharp, witty, poignant and intense, The Book of Secrets is a fantastically atmospheric evocation of C17th Rome, with all its grime, claustrophobia, injustice and shocking violence against women."
