In Another Life (2025)
Imogen Clark
"In Another Life is a moving novel about long-held secrets and loyalties between sisters. As the subtly-drawn characters' stories unfold, an intriguing family mystery transports the reader from the quiet streets of Ripon to the heat and savage beauty of a Sicilian summer."

Follow Me to Africa (2025)
Penny Haw
"Captivating and deftly woven. I loved this exploration of complex relationships, set against the backdrop of Africa's wild beauty in the cradle of humankind. I'm sure Mary Leakey would approve of Penny Haw's meticulous research, which brings the world-famous archaeologist's work to life in this skillfully crafted dual timeline novel."
