Claire Evans recommends
The Maiden (2023)
Kate Foster
"A fabulous book . . . The writing is exquisite and it felt like a rare treat - a story totally rooted in its time and place, but that speaks across the generations."
The Lost Future of Pepperharrow (2019)
(Watchmaker of Filigree Street, book 2)
Natasha Pulley
"With Pepperharrow, I think Natasha has outdone herself. The characters have reached iconic status already, and it's so rare to find an author who marries such a sparkling imagination with the storytelling flair of a maestro thriller writer - this was her most unputdownable novel yet and I loved it."
