Isabel Waidner recommends

Mister, Mister (2023)
Guy Gunaratne
"Gunaratne is a writer with a rare ability to inhabit savants, outsiders, rebels and others who exist at the so-called margins of mainstream society, and who they write slapbang into the centre. Moving between women's houses and detention centres, global and UK politics, tenderness and devastation, Mister, Mister is where it's at."

Tell Me I'm Worthless (2021)
Alison Rumfitt
"Rumfitt's is an important book, as transgressive and trans as they come. This is the sort of literature we haven't seen in the UK for too long, if not ever."

An Ordinary Wonder (2020)
Buki Papillon
"This brilliant and ultimately uplifting debut antidotes the hard realities of gender-based violence, secrecy and family estrangement with the transformative forces of Yoruba spirituality, intergenerational nurturing and queer forms of kinship. From all that's foreclosed emerges a story of hope and optimism towards possible futures. Utterly stunning."
