Sophia Bennett recommends
The Grand Illusion (2024)
(Daphne Devine, book 1)
Syd Moore
"Gripping, strange, unusual. Beautiful writing and a brilliant heroine. I loved it."
The Square of Sevens (2023)
Laura Shepherd-Robinson
"Laura Shepherd-Robinson has created an instant classic. Red is unforgettable. The story is a treasure trove of lavish Georgian riches, female ingenuity and bitter betrayal . . . and I didn't want it to end."
