Mark Haddon recommends

A Family Matter (2025)
Claire Lynch
"A wonderful novel, absolutely gripping... Lynch manages to be damning about a culture and a system while being compassionate towards the human beings pitted against each other inside that system."
thumb
Days of Light (2025)
Megan Hunter
"Wonderful, luminous . . . the language is radiant . . . it channels Woolf and Mansfield and feels completely fresh."
thumb
The Ministry of Time (2024)
Kaliane Bradley
"A fantastic debut: conceptually brilliant, really funny, genuinely moving, written in the most exquisite language and with a wonderful articulation of the knotty complexities of a mixed-race heritage."
