Thomas Keneally recommends
 The Second Prison (1991) Ronan Bennett "What people love most about this book is what they love about LeCarre and Greene." |  Carpentaria (2006) Alexis Wright "An Australia masterwork, one of those books which re-make a world anew... it will attract and excite readers the world over." |  Sashenka (2008) Simon Montefiore "A furiously readable novel - it's hard to put SASHENKA down. SASHENKA is a brilliantly-plotted novel which brings home with unique intimacy the joys and hopes of Russian families, the Revolution, the horror of the Thirties - and a new generation's penetration of KGB files....
