Helen Dunmore recommends
 Sapphira and the Slave Girl (1940) Willa Cather "Willa Cather makes a world which is burningly alive, sometimes lovely, often tragic. " |  Tamarind Mem (1996) Anita Rau Badami "I enjoyed it enormously... A captivating writer, with a sharp sense of character and a humour that infuses the story with vitality." |  Four Dreamers and Emily (1996) Stevie Davies "Poignant, funny and luminous - lit by comedy and wisdom." | |
 A Stairway to Paradise (1999) Madeleine St John "A moral comedy as well as a social one." |  Laura Blundy (2000) Julie Myerson "A richly atmospheric novel which burns in the imagination, and will go on burning for a long time. Lorna belongs in her own time, and yet reaches out through it, telling her story with a candour I found deeply moving." |  The Story of My Face (2002) Kathy Page "A moving, absorbing story... Kathy Page writes beautifully." | |
 The End of my Tether (2002) Neil Astley "Brilliantly readable, wildly funny and macabre." |  Dandelion Soup (2004) Babs Horton "Cunningly and powerfully told." |  The Burying Beetle (2005) (Gussie, book 1) Ann Kelley "Atmospheric and beguilling." | |
 Resistance (2007) Owen Sheers "Sheers is a vivid sensual writer." |  Dream Laboratory (2007) Clare Brown "A novelist to watch. She is original, ruthless and full of vitality." |  The Ingenious Edgar Jones (2007) Elizabeth Garner "Garner's imagination is compelling and the novel has real narrative drive... enjoyable and eloquent." | |
 Before I Knew Him (2008) Anna Ralph "Sensuous and evocative... Anna Ralph has real poise." |  Afterlife (2009) Sean O'Brien "Compelling and hypnotic." |  A Life Apart (2010) Neel Mukherjee "Assured and fearless... this is subtle, precise writing." | |
 The Pink Hotel (2011) Anna Stothard "The quality of her writing is remarkable." |
