Sara Baume recommends

The Wren, the Wren (2023)
Anne Enright
"Somehow both classic and thoroughly contemporary. Very few writers could capably achieve such a thing and I remain, as ever, in awe of Anne's talents."

Though the Bodies Fall (2023)
Noel O'Regan
"I opened it up one evening and was instantly captivated... The atmosphere is haunting; the imagery so powerful that it gave me strange dreams. This novel is a little bit uncanny and a little bit archaic but also incredibly contemporary and prescient."

Prophet Song (2023)
Paul Lynch
"It was gripping and chilling, and terribly prescient - a novel with a darkly important message about this particular moment in time."
