Lawrence Norfolk recommends
thumb
The Cautious Traveller's Guide to the Wastelands (2024)
Sarah Brooks
"I hugely enjoyed The Cautious Traveller's Guide to the Wastelands; it's like a steampunk Solaris."
thumb
A Net for Small Fishes (2021)
Lucy Jago
"The Thelma and Louise of the seventeenth century: two mismatched heroines, two grittily textured lives, an outrageous plot (true!), sex, politics, and a gut-wrenching ending."
