A K Blakemore recommends

The King's Mother (2024)
Annie Garthwaite
"Elegant and propulsive . . . I had to fight myself to put it down."

The Lodgers (2024)
Holly Pester
"With tang and pith in every sentence, The Lodgers speaks to a generational epidemic of rootlessness and porous selfhood with vital wit and utter originality."
