Ben Pester recommends

The Benefactors (2025)
Wendy Erskine
"A novel of exquisite detail and endless humanity. Even in their darkest moments, Erskine never lets go of her characters, never lets them be anything but alive on the page. I won't soon recover, and don't really want to, from the clarity and cold power of this book."

Moderate to Poor, Occasionally Good (2024)
Eley Williams
"For every brush with darkness in these wonderful stories, there is a counterpoint of light, bright enough to come off the page and go with you about your day. I don't know anyone else who can write like this - language does something special for Eley Williams. What a joy!"
