Rebecca Sarah Ley recommends
Queen Mab (2026)
Emily McBride
"Both darkly funny and devastating, I was riveted by this tale of unravelling with a new baby. The metamorphosis of early motherhood and its shapeshifting realities is keenly observed. The novel pulls you slowly and ever-deeper into a world of claustrophobic dread and dark enchantment, but never strays too far from examining the labour, isolation and upended identity that every new mother faces. It's an important tale expertly told."
