Rachel Seiffert recommends
thumb
Stronger Than Skin (2017)
Stephen May
"The story hooks you in lightly, and then takes a grip; a proper page-turner to the last."
thumb
The Seventh Cross (1942)
Anna Seghers
"A masterpiece. Written in the midst of terror, but with such clarity, such acuity; Seghers is a writer of rare insight."
