Sarah Waters recommends
South Riding (1936) Winifred Holtby "A twentieth-century classic." | The Group (1962) Mary McCarthy "A brilliant novel: honest, engaging and sharp as a tack." | Tony and Susan (1993) Austin Wright "So gripping and unsettling... I want to read it all over again." | |
The Story of My Face (2002) Kathy Page "I can't remember the last time I was so compelled, impressed and unsettled by the emotional world of a novel." | The Book of Salt (2003) Monique Truong "The Book of Salt reminded me how thrilling really fine writing can be, and how rarely one sees it." | Red Audrey and the Roping (2008) Jill Malone "A wonderfully impressive writing debut." | |
Pretty Monsters (2008) Kelly Link "Very scary indeed." | Footnotes to Sex (2009) Mia Farlane "A wonderfully impressive first novel: subtle, smart and very funny. I loved this book." | Charles Jessold, Considered as a Murderer (2010) Wesley Stace "A tremendously imaginative novel... beneath its sparkling surface there are some very murky depths. A wonderfully disquieting read." | |
Mr Fox (2011) Helen Oyeyemi "Mr Fox is a wonderfully original novel, full of images and turns of phrase so arresting, so vivid and inventive, its pages almost glow with them. Helen Oyeyemi has given us a work of playful charm and serious narrative pleasure." | This Burns My Heart (2011) Samuel Park "This Burns My Heart is a delicate yet powerful story of love, loss, and endurance. The emotional world of the heroine, Soo-Ja, is beautifully realized; I found myself caught up in her dramas from start to finish, and was reluctant to part with her at the novel's close. A lovely, romantic, haunting book." | Man's World (2016) Rupert Smith "A funny, poignant and life-affirming novel." | |
The Other Hoffmann Sister (2017) Ben Fergusson "Beguiling, unsettling and wonderfully atmospheric." |
