Penelope Lively recommends
Clear (2024)
Carys Davies
"With Clear, Carys Davies has again done brilliantly what she does best - saying most by saying least. She has the rare gift of eloquent brevity - Clear is astute, moving, unexpected."
The Three Graces (2023)
Amanda Craig
"I revelled in The Three Graces - such an intriguing cast, so convincingly presented, and a narrative that continually surprises. The Tuscan backdrop is illuminating, the apposition between old and young so persuasively displayed. A terrific read."
Winchelsea (2022)
Alex Preston
"I was riveted. Winchelsea is a great read - terrific narrative drive, credible characters, and such an elegant creation of the backdrop in terms of both time and place."
