Snow Road Station (2023)
Elizabeth Hay
"Snow Road Station is an exquisitely etched coming-of-middle-age story. With a touch by turns subtle and sensual, Elizabeth Hay explores the surprising differences - and crucial overlaps - between what we think makes us happy, and what actually does. Along the way, we are drawn imperceptibly into intimacy with characters who reckon with the past in order to remake their own - and perhaps the reader's - notions of what family is."

A Funny Kind of Paradise (2021)
Jo Owens
"Like pulling rabbits from a hat, Jo Owens manages the magic of reaching into the most abject places of the human heart—and other parts of the anatomy—and finding joy, humour and redemption. She gifts the reader a story told with elegant wit and irreverent humour, and characters brought to life with love, often of the tough variety . . . and there is nothing more tender. I love this book."

Liminal (2018)
Jordan Tannahill
"Generous, bold, unabashedly emotional, and really smart."
