Ingrid Persaud recommends
The House of Broken Bricks (2024)
Fiona Williams
"I've lost count of the number of pitch perfect sentences in The House of Broken Bricks that I wanted to steal - a wonderful debut that is brave in its deep truths about loss and love in us and the promise of sunshine on even the darkest days."
The Misadventures of Margaret Finch (2023)
Claire McGlasson
"Utterly transporting, piercingly honest and intimate, this novel is one to cherish."
Things We Do Not Tell the People We Love (2021)
Huma Qureshi
"I admired Things We Do Not Tell the People We Love. Qureshi writes with courage and in these extraordinary stories capture the shame and loneliness of non-belonging and the challenge of self-acceptance."
