Virginia Baily recommends
Two Storm Wood (2021)
Philip Gray
"In this poignant, intricately plotted novel, Gray succeeds in entwining two powerful tales-a love story and a hate story-in a way that, right from the shocking start, is both convincing and enthralling."
The Seventh Cross (1942)
Anna Seghers
"The Seventh Cross is multi-layered, compelling and so human, wise and compassionate. We are taken inside different characters' heads to see the human side of monstrous people and the monster within the most humane. We see the poignancy of ordinariness in times of crisis and horror. Through the lives of ordinary people in extraordinary times we get to see how fascism can take hold and that is an important thing for us to grasp right now!"
