Ian McEwan recommends

There are Rivers in the Sky (2024)
Elif Shafak
"Elif Shafak is a unique and powerful voice in world literature."

Prophecy (2023)
Sandro Veronesi
"Veronesi truly knows and loves all matters of the heart."

Cocoon (2022)
Zhang Yueran
"Cocoon is a stupendous novel, a beautiful and formidable achievement on the grandest scale. Its ruthless psychological realism is wondrously amplified by Zhang Yueran's magical powers of description. Zhang Yueran's scenes and images have an unworldly gleam of both hard-won insight and timeless truth. The novel is a triumph."
