Carol Birch recommends
The Souvenir Museum (2021)
Elizabeth McCracken
"[McCracken] writes from pain and makes something beautiful from it, and, because she is a writer of remarkable sensitivity and has such a light touch, because so much love is in the observation, something wonderful happens, a kind of transcendence. The mundane becomes profound, and, against all odds, the reader is left feeling uplifted."
The Cardinal's Man (2017)
M G Sinclair
"Gritty and Lively...a colourful depiction of 17th century France."
