Tash Aw recommends
Our Evenings (2024)
Alan Hollinghurst
"Our Evenings is a truly astonishing novel, by turns delicate and ferocious, radical in the way it explores questions of race, class, sexuality, and origins in a genteel English Home Counties setting. It is the story of a country undergoing great change, even if its people aren't aware of it - the novel moves through time so beautifully that I felt such a sense of loss at the end."
Day (2023)
Michael Cunningham
"Few writers capture the crazy contradictions of modern life with as much clarity and wisdom as Michael Cunningham. Day glows beauty and energy; its characters slip off the page and into your life."
Wandering Souls (2023)
Cecile Pin
"Meticulously researched and beautifully imagined, Wandering Soul is a deeply affecting debut, a restless inquiry into the nature of loss, kinship and survival."
