Nathan Filer recommends

The Boyhood of Cain (2025)
Michael Amherst
"Amherst has created a young protagonist of extraordinary depth and complexity. We don't so much observe him as live him."

Only Here, Only Now (2024)
Tom Newlands
"It's not every day you read a modern classic. But this feels destined to become one. A thunderous achievement."

Moral Injuries (2024)
Christie Watson
"Moral Injuries takes the reader into a world where medicine meets morality, and every choice has a cost. With page-turning twists, it explores friendship, betrayal and the decisions that define us."
