Sarra Manning recommends
Songs of Love and War (2015)
(Deverill Chronicles, book 1)
Santa Montefiore
"I have a tendresse for sweeping and epic romantic sagas set around huge houses and aristocratic families and Santa Montefiore hits the spot for me like few other writers... Lush, vivid storytelling."
The Crime Writer (2016)
Jill Dawson
"A dark tale of madness and murder, of obsession and delusion, that's worthy of Highsmith herself."
The State of Grace (2017)
Rachael Lucas
"A sweetly funny look at first love, family and faking it told from the perspective of a heroine with Asperger's and her own particular way of looking at the world."
Johannesburg (2017)
Fiona Melrose
"Following the interlinked lives of a handful of Johannesburg residents, this is an ambitious, beautifully written novel that seems to sing."
Happiness for Humans (2018)
P Z Reizin
"One of the most uplifting and romantic novels I've read in a long time."
Fatal Inheritance (2018)
Rachel Rhys
"I am racing though this delicious thriller set on the French Riviera in 1948. Rachel Rhys really is a natural successor to Patricia Highsmith. Out July, put it on preorder now so you don’t forget."
Blackberry and Wild Rose (2019)
Sonia Velton
"This exquisitely evocative novel will appeal to fans of The Miniaturist."
In At the Deep End (2019)
Kate Davies
"I was snorting with mirth like a little piggy on every page. Utter filth and very, very, very funny."
Reputation (2021)
Lex Croucher
"If Bridgerton and Fleabag had a book baby, it would be Reputation. I inhaled it in one sitting."
Idol (2022)
Louise O'Neill
"Idol is Louise O'Neill at the very top of her game. This is a clever, zeitgiesty read, which will play with your emotions as if they were scrabble tiles and give you characters that you love then hate on the turn of a page but you won't be able to stop reading. This is going to be one of the most talked about books of the year."
