Emily Bitto recommends

The Performance (2021)
Claire Thomas
"This extraordinary novel contains multitudes. Grounded in the inner lives of three women, it expands to encompass so much that is of fundamental importance to our times, and indeed to the human condition itself. Profound, funny, full of empathy and oh-so-smart, this is a work of art in the truest sense. Read it as soon as you possibly can."

Gravity Well (2018)
Melanie Joosten
"Devastating...reminding us of the risks and redemptive power of human connection, Gravity Well brilliantly conveys the magnitude of love and loss."

Fever of Animals (2015)
Miles Allinson
"An exquisite, painterly novel...It is heartbreaking to reach the final page."
