Munichs (2024)
David Peace
"A work of exhaustive research, numinous scope, and scalding intimacy; a remorselessly beautiful, grieving, loving testament to a tragedy; and David Peace's greatest book yet."

No Small Thing (2024)
Orlaine McDonald
"A lovely debut, full of truth, tenderness and steely grace: a highly promising first novel."
