Gerard Woodward recommends

Make Me a City (2019)
Jonathan Carr
"Make Me A City’s scope and scale is quite breathtaking. It digs deep into the history of Chicago to uncover hidden stories about the people who built it. Its clever way of dealing with competing historical narratives is very exciting. A real pleasure to read!"

Gifted (2007)
Nikita Lalwani
"Oustanding. Rich, vivid, fluent and well-paced with a wonderful cast of well-developed, engaging characters and a constantly surprising story line."
