Anne Donovan recommends

This Bright Life (2025)
Karen Campbell
"Three vulnerable people, thrown together by an accident. In this compelling and heartrending novel, Karen Campbell's skilful and sensitive narration takes us into their worlds, sharing their pain and joy. The setting is authentic, the characters fully alive: the message is one of hope in human compassion and the healing power of love."

Bird Summons (2019)
Leila Aboulela
"A wonderful book. I loved the beauty of its language and the subtle interweaving of myth with the spiritual and physical journeys of the women. I found it fascinating, powerful and profound."

Unspeakable (2017)
Dilys Rose
"Dilys Rose is one of the the finest prose writers around."
