Cesca Major recommends

The Shock of the Light (2026)
Lori Inglis Hall
"A beautiful, clever debut, heart wrenching and totally immersive. A special twist on an era we think we know so well - highlighting some lesser-known and devastating moments. Impeccably researched, the very best example of historical fiction. Quietly devastating and so moving - I was completely absorbed."

The Names (2025)
Florence Knapp
"The Names made me fall in love and broke my heart three times over. Gorgeous, hopeful and fascinating, it's a wonderful read that made me reflect on all the small decisions we make and the ripple effects they create. A stunning debut."
