Stella Duffy recommends
No Season but the Summer (2023)
Matilda Leyser
"Matilda Leyser's novel takes the eternal polarities - love and hate, life and death, summer and winter, possibility and impossibility - and brings them crashing together in a tumultuous story of gods living alongside humanity, mother-daughter love and loss, and a glimmer of hope despite it all. In No Season but the Summer, our world is still dying, but it is putting up a hell of a fight as it does so, reminding us that we can fight too, and that fighting for our lives might start with listening to the earth."
Spilt Milk (2023)
Amy Beashel
"Spilt Milk is the real thing; a novel that embraces the brutal, glorious, hopeful, impossible truths of motherhood, marriage and friendship."
Mother's Boy (2022)
Patrick Gale
"Patrick Gale always writes so well of his men and of the women near them. In Mother's Boy his women shine as brightly as the men, his characters age and grow by themselves, alive in their actions, hopes and losses."
