Ordinary Time (2024)
Cathy Rentzenbrink
"Funny & moving."

The Librarianist (2023)
Patrick deWitt
"I absolutely adored it. I loved Bob - his position over to the side of charisma and horribleness, out of the game, his notions and his demeanour ... This beautiful book took me far away from all my concerns. It's so wonderful, soothing and heartbreaking."

Everything's Fine (2023)
Cecilia Rabess
"A brilliantly observed novel about what it means to lose yourself as a young woman. So funny but also incredibly true."
