Curiosities (2024)
Anne Fleming
"Curiosities is pure delight. Anne Fleming draws us in so that we feel we are living the characters' lives, whether braving the North Atlantic on a sailing ship, or stealing away for a forbidden tryst in the English countryside. And she does it all with a light touch that has the reader dancing through peril and pleasure."
Snow Road Station (2023)
Elizabeth Hay
"Snow Road Station is an exquisitely etched coming-of-middle-age story. With a touch by turns subtle and sensual, Elizabeth Hay explores the surprising differences - and crucial overlaps - between what we think makes us happy, and what actually does. Along the way, we are drawn imperceptibly into intimacy with characters who reckon with the past in order to remake their own - and perhaps the reader's - notions of what family is."
A Funny Kind of Paradise (2021)
Jo Owens
"Like pulling rabbits from a hat, Jo Owens manages the magic of reaching into the most abject places of the human heartand other parts of the anatomyand finding joy, humour and redemption. She gifts the reader a story told with elegant wit and irreverent humour, and characters brought to life with love, often of the tough variety . . . and there is nothing more tender. I love this book."
