Tom Benn recommends
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."
Sanderson's Isle (2023)
James Clarke
"What a narrator. How Speake speaks. How he bends your ear, and your heart. Sanderson's Isle sometimes reads like a lost John Braine or David Storey novel. There's even a touch of Ted Lewis in its elemental fatalism. It's that good."
