Kiare Ladner recommends
Now I Am Here (2023)
Chidi Ebere
"Clear, unsparing confession, with moments of insight, gentleness and even beauty. A powerful novel that traces the process of desensitisation, yet is seamed with tenderness."
Safely Gathered In (2021)
Sarah Schofield
"Schofield's collection comprises finely inventive stories, astute in their side angle swipes on reality. A memorable and distinctive debut."
