Bernard MacLaverty recommends
The Mission House (2020)
Carys Davies
"Wonderfully written – with the simplicity of fairy tale, the heft of fable and all the human sadness and joy of misfits."
Travelling in a Strange Land (2018)
David Park
"This is a father and son novel of rare intensity. We are taken on an unforgettable winter journey and, like in a skid, we have no idea which way we'll be facing by the end. He writes with a focus and precision which wrings the heart."
