Lara Williams recommends
At the Edge of the Woods (2023)
Kathryn Bromwich
"A raw, intimate, richly textured and lyrical account of a self-imposed isolation in the Italian Alps. Part-almost fairy tale, part-humane examination of the body, memory, loneliness, relationships and nature--this gorgeous book offers a hypnotically meditative insight into one woman's compelling psyche."
Cursed Bread (2023)
Sophie Mackintosh
"Cursed Bread is a gorgeously atmospheric and feverishly compulsive novel about amorphous longings and desires, and the hot shame of wanting more than you deserve."
The Pachinko Parlour (2022)
Elisa Shua Dusapin
"The Pachinko Parlour is a quietly melancholic, softly textured and roundly gorgeous novel about identity and alienation. It will stay with me for a long time."
