Tessa Hadley recommends
thumb
How to Be Somebody Else (2024)
Miranda Pountney
"Unsettling and original."
thumb
Mother's Boy (2022)
Patrick Gale
"A lovely, generous, absorbing novel. Charles is made both 'of' and belonging to his place and world, while also not fitting into it. The war sections are so very good, so terrible and ugly and gritty. I absolutely believed all of it."
thumb
Skinship (2021)
Yoon Choi
"Lovely stories, such a good writer, everything so delicately made but robust and unsentimental too."
