Polly Crosby recommends

The Woman in the Wallpaper (2025)
Lora Jones
"The Woman in the Wallpaper is a beautifully crafted novel, filled with the kind of exquisite historical details that make a story sing. Perfection."

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."
