Ross Raisin recommends

Speak to Me (2023)
Paula Cocozza
"A novel that manages to put its finger, exactly, tenderly, on a place of very modern pain. A contemporary, funny, anguished take on love and loneliness."

Service (2023)
Sarah Gilmartin
"Ferocious, minutely accurate, damning."

Erringby (2021)
Gill Darling
"A novel that plays along fault lines of class, family and sexuality with a cool wit and a compelling, raunchy intelligence. Gill Darling is a writer with a tender touch and a wicked turn of phrase; a winning combination."
