Simon Wroe recommends
The Language of the Birds (2025)
K A Merson
"This taut, engaging thriller has charm to burn, thanks to its literature-obsessed teenage codebreaker, Arizona, and her faithful hound, Mojo. . . . A puzzle box of delights."
Enter the Aardvark (2020)
Jessica Anthony
"A feverish, rollicking beast of a book. Totally assured, completely unpredictable, Jessica Anthony has created a true original."
In Our Mad and Furious City (2018)
Guy Gunaratne
"A blazing, swaggering, polyphonic debut. Here is London through the eyes of those 'with elsewhere in their blood'. Gunaratne has a ventriloquist's command of voice, a film-maker's eye, and talent to burn."
