Ordinary Saints (2025)
Niamh Ní Mhaoileoin
"The best debut novel I've read in a long time. Niamh Ni Mhaoileoin is a writer of immense delicacy, perception and heart, drilling deep into questions of faith, family and love. A beautiful novel and a huge talent."

Hungerstone (2025)
Kat Dunn
"A sumptuous delight, Hungerstone combines gothic thrills with a feminist exploration of what it means to become estranged from our desires, and what it might mean if we let ourselves be whole. I feasted on it."

The Grief Doctor (2024)
Jack Anderson
"There are plenty of thrillers that keep you turning the pages, but only a few that live in your mind long after the final page is turned. Jack Anderson has written a thriller that is as intelligent, thoughtful and humane as it is compelling and addictive. A talent to watch."
