Peter Hobbs
In the Orchard, the Swallows
“This perfectly cut jewel of a book speaks of the indomitability of the human heart and of the salvation of the imagination when nothing else remains.”— Financial Times -
Jane Gardam
A Long Way from Verona
A coming-of-age novel from the author of God on the Rocks and Crusoe's Daughter, A Long Way from Verona is a "fiercely funny and personal novel." -
Jonathan Grimwood
The Last Banquet
As gripping as Patrick Suskind’s Perfume, as gloriously ambitious as Daniel Kehlman’s Measuring the World, and as prize-worthy as Andrew Miller’s Pure, The Last Banquet is a hugely appealing novel about food and flavor, about the Age of Reason, the ages of man, and about obsession. -
Stav Sherez
A Dark Redemption
This combination of a bruising crime investigation competing against the hidden forces of powerful political and social interests makes for superior entertainment -
Jane Gardam
Last Friends
"Jane Gardam is a wonderful writer. Her understanding of character and use of language are both remarkable." — The Times -
Richard Beard
Lazarus Is Dead
“Funny, smart, scary...and above all, completely convincing. Maybe not the way it was, but the way it must have been.”—Ben Loory, author of Stories for Nighttime and Some for the Day -
Jane Gardam
Crusoe's Daughter
Crusoe’s Daughter is Jane Gardam’s favorite among her novels, in part because it draws upon her own background. Like Polly Flint, Gardam’s mother was the daughter of a sea captain and grew up with a voracious love of language but no formal education.
