Tim Pears recommends

American Purgatorio (2004)
John Haskell
"A fresh, light, deep, sad, funny, moving trippy dream of a novel... Beautiful."

The Sentimentalists (2009)
Johanna Skibsrud
"A probing exploration - now subtle, oblique, now forensic, scalpel-sharp - of the ramifications of a person's experience through the lives and relationships of those he loves. Of the way in which what we do, and witness, echoes through our lives, and the next generation's."

The Oath (2021)
(Druid Chronicles, book 1)
A M Linden
"Thrilling historical fiction with heart and soul."
