Polly Crosby recommends
The Nightingale's Castle (2024)
Sonia Velton
"A dark and powerful tale of women fighting for their truths to be heard. Dripping with unease, it is a story filled with the bloodthirsty horror, not of monsters, but of humankind."
The Bone Hunters (2024)
Joanne Burn
"A wonderfully lyrical story of intrigue that spirals into obsession. Based loosely on the Victorian fossil hunter Mary Anning, the story is delicate and beautiful. I loved it."
The Fascination (2023)
Essie Fox
"A dizzying potion of a novel. Take one sip and enter a world of colour and fear, of the grotesque and the gorgeous. A story about acceptance and family, and about love in all of its glorious forms."
