Bobby Palmer recommends

People in Love (2026)
Claire Daverley
"Claire Daverley has Maggie O'Farrell's ability to render human beings, their relationships, and their flaws so vividly that you want to reach out and comfort them. A really beautiful book, brimming over with heart and heartbreak and everything in between. Have tissues to hand."

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."
