Kathy Lette recommends

The Shell House (1998)
Jane Thynne
"A dark, delicious novel. Totally mesmeric. A wonderful read."

The Naked Season (2003)
Kira Cochrane
"The author has a sense of humour drier than The Priory clinic . . . A very promising writer."

Man of the Month Club (2006)
Jackie Clune
"A hilarious concept - literally."

What Will Survive (2007)
Joan Smith
"A literary espresso. Joan Smith's latest novel, tautly plotted and tightly written, will jump start your brain. Once I picked up this book, it wouldn't put me down again."

This Has Been Absolutely Lovely (2021)
Jessica Dettmann
"A totally engaging and disarmingly charming writer."
