Pip Williams recommends

The Hazelbourne Ladies Motorcycle and Flying Club (2024)
Helen Simonson
"Written with humor and compassion, it is a delight."

Orphia and Eurydicius (2024)
Elyse John
"As I read Orphia and Eurydicius I imagined the muses beside Elyse John, focussing her mind and guiding her hand. The writing is poetic and evocative, and the story will thrill readers who have long suspected something is missing from the classics of Greek Myth."

Prettier if She Smiled More (2023)
Toni Jordan
"Told with greet humour. A tonic and a delight."
