Emma Hughes recommends
Circus of Mirrors (2024)
Julie Owen Moylan
"What a brilliantly evocative, moving and emotionally affecting read. Leni and Nette's struggles and the twists and turns of their relationship were so well realised and had me absolutely gripped. The Babylon Circus shimmered off the page, I could picture it completely. I raced through the final pages late at night desperate to know what would happen!"
Begin Again (2023)
Helly Acton
"Brilliant. Helly Acton the undisputed queen of the high concept romcom."
The Other Side of Mrs. Wood (2023)
Lucy Barker
"What an immensely clever, hugely enjoyable conjuring of Victorian high society - it's clearly so well researched."
