Bobby Palmer recommends

Land (2026)
Maggie O'Farrell
"A stunning achievement. Maggie O'Farrell's most ambitious novel yet, and maybe her most moving. I adored it."

Send Flowers (2025)
Emily Buchanan
"Send Flowers is so much more than its brilliantly out-there concept: a climate activist's dead boyfriend comes back as a houseplant. Equal parts funny and furious, it's a book that blooms as you read it."

Ripeness (2025)
Sarah Moss
"Sarah Moss is one of the best writers working today, and this might be her best book yet. A wise and tender novel about birth, ballet and belonging, it captivated me completely."
