Sophie White's Corpsing

To read Sophie White’s Corpsing: My Body and Other Horror Shows is to glean some of her most deeply personal moments in life. In the best way, it often feels as if the reader is eavesdropping – only with her permission – such is the intimacy of this vividly ambitious literary non-fiction collection on the horrors of grief and mental illness, perfectly balanced with the hilarity of life. A must-read.

Laura McKenna's Words to Shape My Name

On the anniversary of her father’s death, Tony’s daughter Harriet is met at his graveside by the executor of the will. The papers gifted to Harriet are predominantly the words of Tony, eager to recuperate the traitorous reputation of Lord Edward. An immersive work of historical fiction.

Dawnie Walton's The Final Revival of Opal & Nev

The Final Revival of Opal & Nev by Dawnie Walton is a kaleidoscopic fictional oral history of the rock ’n’ roll duo who shot to fame in the 1970s. Opal is an independent woman pushing against the grain discovered by British singer/songwriter Neville Charles, and the two begin to make music together, but soon after events occur that change their lives forever. Provocative, daring and a remarkable female heroine make this unforgettable.
