The Book of Ayn (2023)
Lexi Freiman
"I had the rare experience while reading The Book of Ayn of slowly realizing I had stumbled on something so good that it was changing my taste. So funny, so clever, so alive to the absurdity of contemporary life without reverting to the boring cynicism that would be so easy. I loved it."
I Could Live Here Forever (2023)
Hanna Halperin
"I was intensely moved by I Could Live Here Forever - I read it in one day and finished sobbing, feeling that I and the author and her beautifully rendered characters had all been through something profound together. Leah's relationship with Charlie is drawn with unsparing, unpretty candour which is constantly undercut by moments of dazzling tenderness - this book acts as a kind of vivid, devastating answer to the often heard question 'How could you stay with a person like that?' Halperin's desire and ability to so deeply consider the lives in her book became as affecting to me as the story itself, creating the sort of author-reader intimacy rarely found but always prized. I will remember and re-read this gorgeous, emotionally intelligent, truly beautiful book often."
Deep Down (2023)
Imogen West-Knights
"DEEP DOWN is a beautifully constructed and unnervingly assured debut which deeply moved and impressed me. Imogen West Knights reveals family silence and repression in a way which feels almost agonisingly true to life. There are no histrionics here, nor any glib resolutions, but a superbly observed exploration of intimacy and its failings. Not to be missed."
