Ruth Gilligan recommends
Fruit of the Dead (2024)
Rachel Lyon
"Ancient Greece meets Succession by way of Emma Cline, Fruit of the Dead is a deliciously dark examination of agency and power, and the savage complexity of the mother-daughter bond."
The Unbroken Beauty of Rosalind Bone (2023)
Alex McCarthy
"Small Things Like These meets Under Milk Wood - this slim but devastating novel captures an entire village, an entire world, and the many ways in which a woman can be trapped. A real gem."
The Happy Couple (2023)
Naoise Dolan
"Sassy and smart and wickedly funny, Dolan's voice is uniquely her own. I inhaled every irreverent page."
