Lara Williams recommends

Sky Daddy (2025)
Kate Folk
"Sky Daddy is an exhilarating, addictive, and entirely convincing novel, not to mention strangely tender, deeply compassionate, and with pin-sharp prose."

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."
