The Portrait Artist (2025)
Dani Heywood-Lonsdale
"Impeccably researched, masterfully plotted, beautifully written."
Nephthys (2025)
Rachel Louise Driscoll
"Brilliant and meticulously researched. . . [I]devoured it in two days. A gripping & skilfully written Victorian adventure set in Egypt & based on mythology. I loved it."
The Lotus Shoes (2025)
Jane Yang
"The Lotus Shoes is a powerful story, beautifully told. Little Flower and Linjing's story is complex, brutal, tragic, and heartbreaking, but ultimately uplifting and satisfying. I feel I have learned a great deal about a place and period I knew very little about. Jane Yang is an exciting new talent and I can't wait to read more from her."
