Margaret Forster recommends

The Mountain of Immoderate Desires (1994) Leslie Wilson "I did enjoy, and admire this novel so much. It satisfies on so many levels � it gives me that good story I always crave, it involved me with two moving and utterly believable characters, it transported me to turn-of-the century Hong Kong, and it made me think about all kinds of quite deep moral issues."	Trick of the Light (1996) Jill Dawson "The novel held me right to the end. I was constantly ... held by the evocation of place."	The Good People of New York (2001) Thisbe Nissen "I relished Thisbe Nissen's novel."
Haweswater (2002) Sarah Hall "A strikingly original first novel, full not just of fury but also of the most sensitive compassion for the people and the place. "	English Correspondence (2003) Janet Davey "I fell on ENGLISH CORRESPONDENCE with joy. I purred over its sheer intelligence, its quiet wit..."	The Mountain of Light (2004) Claire Allen "I loved it... I felt under its spell from the beginning."
The Family Tree (2005) Carole Cadwalladr "A real delight to read . . . such a delicacy of touch . . . very funny . . . hugely enjoyable "	The Great Stink (2005) Clare Clark "Staggeringly evocative...a fine new novelist."	Salt (2007) Jeremy Page "Striking, funny, terrifying... I admired and loved it."
