Jeanette Winterson recommends

Eurydice in the Underworld (1998)
Kathy Acker
"Kathy Acker's writing is virtuoso, maddening, crazy, so sexy, so painful, and beaten out of a wild heart that nothing can tame. Acher is a landmark writer."

The Last Family in England (2004)
Matt Haig
"I love this book. It's fabulous and moving and funny and strange. It will go down among the great animal books."

Home Fire (2017)
Kamila Shamsie
"Strong storytelling . A page-turner that is also a literary delight."

River Sing Me Home (2023)
Eleanor Shearer
"A strong and beautiful novel that stares into the face of brutality and the heart of love."
