Francesca May recommends
The Fairy Bargains of Prospect Hill (2023)
Rowenna Miller
"The Fairy Bargains of Prospect Hill is utterly spellbinding and full of wonder, a jewel of a book that explores the fierce and often complex bond between sisters, and the everyday folk magic woven into the stories we tell."
The Ones We Burn (2022)
Rebecca Mix
"The Ones We Burn is a dark gem of a book. Burning with feral strength, like Ranka the storytelling is raw and sharp, yet inside there is also a welcome balm of tender love and healing. Rebecca Mix is officially one of my favourite authors."
