The Lost Book of Lancelot (2026)
John Glynn
"This beautiful book kept me reading into the early morning hours. Just as A Star Is Born has been remade a number of times to reflect a new generation, this queer retelling of Arthurian legend is deliciously modern. It's a story with a perspective that so many have been clamouring for. Such dense historical lore is deftly handled with a language of such delicacy and yearning. The veneration of nature and rich physicality left me gasping for more than a few moments. The vigour of the enchanting plot had me in awe of the blooming of Lancelot's complex maturity. From lost, sensitive, insolent boyhood to robust, hard-loving, gallant knighthood; in Lancelot we have a character who really earns how much one roots for him. This is a real showpiece of a novel that was truly a joy to dive into the whole way through."
The Potting Shed Murder (2024)
(Hill House Vintage Murder Mystery, book 1)
Paula Sutton
