Graeme Simsion recommends

The Happiness Blueprint (2024)
Ally Zetterberg
"Smart writing, clever plotting, and an original, finely drawn, and relatable protagonist. Charming."

Minor Disturbances at Grand Life Apartments (2023)
Hema Sukumar
"I was put in mind of Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City. Just daily life and its 'small disturbances' but rendered with great observational acuity and a distinctive and evocative voice."

Finding Phoebe (2023)
Gavin Extence
"A lovely book."

How to Be Remembered (2023)
Michael Thompson
"Original, engrossing, sweet."

The Cassandra Complex (2023)
Holly Smale
"Witty, touching and totally absorbing. Cassandra is a funny and sharply-observed character who I loved spending time with."

Small Acts of Defiance (2022)
Michelle Wright
"A powerful and nuanced book, so evocative of place and time while being timeless. I found it thoroughly absorbing; the characters felt authentic, and the details of Paris in the forties and under occupation fascinating. In these stories of war, in particular those which touch on the atrocity of genocide, it's easy to simply pile on the horror. Wright offers a more human, honest version without diminishing the importance of the Holocaust which is intrinsic to the time, place and characters. A truly fine novel."

Jane in Love (2020)
Rachel Givney
"Artfully written and engaging, Jane in Love is a lively effusion of wit and humor."

Saturdays at Noon (2020)
Rachel Marks
"Wonderful . . . compassionate and unpredictable."

The Helpline (2019)
Katherine Collette
"Nicely observed, with deft writing that makes it look easy. I think we all know someone like Germaine."

The Tattooist of Auschwitz (2018)
(Tattooist of Auschwitz, book 1)
Heather Morris
"Extraordinary - moving, confronting and uplifting . . . I recommend it unreservedly."

The Cactus (2018)
Sarah Haywood
"Original, engaging and totally believable."

The Truth According to Ginny Moon (2017)
Benjamin Ludwig
"A brilliant debut."

The Waiting Room (2016)
Leah Kaminsky
"An assured debut.... Compelling, moving and memorable."

The Secret Diary of Hendrik Groen, 83 1/4 Years Old (2016)
(Hendrik Groen, book 1)
Hendrik Groen
"A story with a great deal of heart, it pulled me in with its self-deprecating humour, finely drawn characters and important themes. Anyone who hopes to grow old with dignity will have much to reflect on."

The Invisible Life of Ivan Isaenko (2016)
Scott Stambach
"Compelling intelligent, moving. The love story is executed with unflinching honesty and dark humor. A masterful novel."

The Things We Keep (2016)
Sally Hepworth
"A compelling read that touches on important themes, not least the different forms that love may take. Sally Hepworth succeeds by engaging our common humanity, capacity for love and sense of humour."

Please Don't Leave Me Here (2015)
Tania Chandler
"A remarkable debut. Stylish, assured writing and a compelling, totally believable protagonist."

Relativity (2015)
Antonia Hayes
"Original, compassionate, cleverly plotted, and genuinely difficult to put down."
