Andrew O'Hagan recommends

Glasgow Boys (2024)
Margaret McDonald
"What a lovely book. Glasgow Boys is tenderness itself, a song to love and friendship. I really cared about Finlay and Banjo and all the flesh-and-blood people around them, wishing them all the best. Margaret McDonald is a terrific new talent and I encourage you to buy this novel for everyone who makes you smile."

The Three Graces (2023)
Amanda Craig
"People talk about the infirmities of old age, but what about the firmities? What about the beliefs, the events, the politics, the odd secret? The Three Graces is a brilliant piece of storytelling that revels in the world of expat old ladies in Tuscany, and it should be the book everybody's reading this summer. The setting's idyllic, the air is mild in May, but there's a threat of England and family histories just beyond the horizon. It's a novel E.M. Foster would've loved."

The Young Accomplice (2022)
Benjamin Wood
"Benjamin Wood is a beautiful writer and this is his best novel yet, both gripping and unputdownable. Like people in Thomas Hardy, his characters surge from the page, and the mystery unfolds with a sureness seldom seen in contemporary British fiction."
