Sophie Mackintosh recommends
He Is Mine and I Have No Other (2018)
Rebecca O'Connor
"My heart broke a little bit for Lani and Leon by the end. He Is Mine and I Have No Other vividly calls up the atmosphere of small-town life, I could positively feel the damp mistiness of it on my skin. Eerie, tender and wonderful."
The Doll Factory (2019)
Elizabeth Macneal
"A stunning novel that twines together power, art, and obsession. At every turn expectations are confounded - it’s a historical novel and yet feels incredibly relevant and timely. I loved its warmth, it’s wry humour, and the way each small thread leads into an unbearably tense and chilling denouement that had me totally gripped."
Starling Days (2019)
Rowan Hisayo Buchanan
"A quiet triumph—tenderly and disarmingly exploring the responsibility of love, loneliness, what it is to feel lost."
Pine (2020)
Francine Toon
"From the first page PINE casts a sense of slowly-rising unease that is completely compelling. It's both eerie and thrilling at once, and had me under its spell until the end."
little scratch (2020)
Rebecca Watson
"I was immediately enveloped in the staccato of little scratch, which spun between wry, funny and heartbreaking. It captures beautifully a rhythm not just of trauma, but also of the small, defiant, everyday happinesses that push through and against it."
