Ross Raisin recommends

Seascraper (2025)
Benjamin Wood
"It is a sensuous treat, this novel. So much care has been given to every detail - of shrimps and sea mists and sinkpits, of work and music. A language of the sea washes over every page."

Speak to Me (2023)
Paula Cocozza
"A novel that manages to put its finger, exactly, tenderly, on a place of very modern pain. A contemporary, funny, anguished take on love and loneliness."

Service (2023)
Sarah Gilmartin
"Ferocious, minutely accurate, damning."
