The Vanishing Half, Brit Bennett
“I just read this in our book club and loved it. It’s a multi-layered story centred around twin sisters, their family and the small town in the Deep South that they grew up in. It’s just been announced that it’s being turned into a series, which I’m already very excited about.”

Clare, Founder

The Thursday Murder Club, Richard Osman
“The first novel by Richard Osman is an original, witty and achingly British crime debut about four amateurs who live in a retirement complex solving murders. The characters and the dry sense of humour throughout the book make it that much more compelling. I just hope there will be a second novel soon with the 'motley-crew' up to their usual shenanigans”

Memorial, Bryan Washington
“This story is told from both perspectives of a young American couple at a crucial point in their relationship. The writing style changes as we switch from one character to another, making this novel such a refreshing read. It’s well-paced and authentic, and filled with delectable descriptions of Japanese cooking.”

Cilka's Journey, Heather Morris

“I read this and its predecessor, The Tattooist of Auschwitz, back-to-back. The titular Cilka evolves from a supporting character in the first book to being the protagonist here, exploring her experience and journey of survival. It’s so moving and beautifully written.”

The Nickel Boys, Colson Whitehead
“Set in the 1960s, this follows the story of a young black boy sentenced to juvenile reform school in Florida. It’s inspired by an actual reform school that operated for over a century and is most certainly not an easy read. But it is such a concise book, where every sentence is so deeply considered and pregnant with meaning.”
