Annabel Lyon recommends
The Dutch Wife (2018)
Ellen Keith
"I'm so impressed by the ambition and bravery of this novel. It confronts the very central ethical concerns and questions about what it is to be human in the world today, what good and evil are, what can be forgiven and what cannot. Literature at its very best tasks itself with these questions, and The Dutch Wife places itself in that noble tradition."
Son of a Trickster (2017)
(Trickster, book 1)
Eden Robinson
"If Raven and Trickster got a show on Netflix, no one could write it but Eden Robinson. Talking ravens, party drugs, deadbeat dads, murderous otters, Doctor Who - nobody brings together pop culture, indigenous culture and myth with more ferocity and humour. Son of a Trickster is my favourite book this year."
Three Years with the Rat (2016)
Jay Hosking
"A remarkable blend of mystery, family drama, love story, and time travel narrative... masterful indeed"
