Pat Barker recommends
The Proof of My Innocence (2024)
Jonathan Coe
"A novelist who gains in range and reputation with every book."
A Spell of Good Things (2023)
Ayọ̀bámi Adébáyọ̀
"A moving story, skillfully told, about Eniola, a boy whose future has been snatched away from him, and Wuraola, a talented, overworked junior doctor, whose intertwined narratives combine to produce an insightful portrait of an unequal and deeply divided society moving towards a terrible crisis. A Spell of Good Things is both gripping and memorable."
When We Were Birds (2022)
Ayanna Lloyd Banwo
"Combining the richness of myth with razor-sharp observation of contemporary life, When We Were Birds marks the emergence of a distinctive and powerful voice."
