Helen Paris recommends
The Poet (2022)
Louisa Reid
"I devoured it both as a breath-taking, page-turning novel on betrayal and a series of startling poems, chiselled from bone. The Poet is going to e x p l o d e into 2022 and leave us all spilt and shuddering! Astounding book."
The Patron Saint of Second Chances (2022)
Christine Simon
"A glorious romp of a book with a cast of characters to fall in love with. Gorgeous, hilarious and brimming with joy. Christine Simon's writing is just a delight."
