The English Problem (2025)
Beena Kamlani
"What a grand, sweeping, mesmerizing book this is: a richly detailed, politically profound story of love, of migration, of individuals caught up in the great convulsions of history. Wow."
thumb
The Alternatives (2024)
Caoilinn Hughes
"The Alternatives is fizzy, brainy, and brilliant, always at the service of a drama of great emotional power. Caoilinn Hughes is an extraordinarily gifted writer."
thumb
Walk the Darkness Down (2023)
Daniel Magariel
"Daniel Magariel's novel - an extraordinary pair of chamber pieces, one nautical, one terrestrial - is courageous and transfixing."
