A quiet domestic drama set in 1970s Britain. Moving and well written. A wealth of domestic detail plunges the reader into the era.
Author: Fiona Brichaut
Fynshade
Marta is sent to be a governess at Fynshade, where she expects to find a rich man to marry. A taut and dark gothic tale.
Whether Violent or Natural
A good premise (a world where antibiotics don’t work anymore) marred by overblown prose, lack of clarity and weirdness (not good-weird).
Weyward
Three women, three time periods, and always the same old shit of male coercion and violence. An absorbing, immersive story.

The Other Half
Witty and well written satirical crime novel about contemporary London socialites.
The Social Distance Between Us
Well written essay on the disparities between the ruling class and the people affected by their decisions. UK-focused, but relevant anywhere.
The Silence Project
A gripping feminist novel of ideas about cults, power politics, female empowerment and utilitarianism: does the end really justify the means?
How We End
UK-based zombie apocalypse. Exciting, action-packed story with a group of interesting characters, and fun twists on the genre.
Shade of Violet
A bit of low fantasy, a bit of crime mystery, a lot of entertaining characters and dialogue. A fun, light – but also well written novel.
