Laura Barton recommends
This Could be Everything (2023)
Eva Rice
"I've never read such a perfect evocation of the 90s; the music, the fashion, the feel. Nor such a summation of youth and loss and love. This book is wise and tender and dazzling. Rice is just a masterful writer."
White Riot (2023)
(United Kingdom Trilogy, book 1)
Joe Thomas
"White Riot is an electrifying novel of politics, the counterculture, and music as a powerful force. In Suzi Scialfa, Thomas has given us a pioneering character - a female journalist, forging her way in a man's world; you believe in her, root for her, want to hear more. I loved this book."
