Wicked Enchantment by Wanda Coleman
“Wicked Enchantment gathers 130 of Coleman's poems in a selection by Terrance Hayes. Funny, angry, endlessly alive and written with an immediacy and frankness that captivate, here is the essential work of a poet of fierce resistance and self-belief against the odds.”
Of Women and Salt by Gabriela Garcia
“Linking five generations of formidable Latina women through the handing down of a highly significant book, Garcia’s novel perfectly captures the universal struggles of family, gender and racial politics with tenderness and passion.”
Libertie by Kaityln Greenidge
“From girlhood to womanhood, Libertie is one woman's journey to freedom—both mental and physical—inspired by the life of one of America's first Black female doctors.”
Sparks Like Stars by Nadia Hashimi
“Bold, illuminating, heart-breaking, yet hopeful, Sparks Like Stars is a story of home—of America and Afghanistan, tragedy and survival, reinvention and remembrance, told in Nadia Hashimi's singular voice.”
Fragile Monsters by Catherine Menon
“Written in vivid technicolour, with an electric daughter-grandmother relationship at its heart, Fragile Monsters explores what happens when secrets fester through the generations. As they will learn, in a place ravaged by floods, it is only a matter of time before the bones of the past emerge.
This One Sky Day by Leone Ross
“As the sun rises two star-crossed lovers try to find their way back to one another across this single day. When night falls, all have been given a gift, and many are no longer the same. The sky is pink, and some wonder if it will ever be blue again.”
I Belong Here: A Journey Along the Backbone Of Britain by Anita Sethi
“Beautifully written and truly inspiring, I Belong Here heralds a powerful and refreshing new voice in nature writing. Anita Sethi was on a journey through Northern England when she became the victim of a race-hate crime. The crime was a vicious attack on her right to exist in a place on account of her race.”
Early Morning Riser by Katherine Heiny
“Early Morning Riser is a charming, witty and heartwarming novel about life and love in a small town that is destined to improve your mood and restore your faith in humankind. Katherine Heiny — who has long been a personal favorite writer of mine — is at the height of her storytelling powers. Every sentence is a treat!”
Sharks In The Time Of Saviours by Kawai Washburn Strong
“Sharks in the Time of Saviours is a story of trauma passed down through the generations, of how poverty, grief, and broken dreams weave their way through the lives of one family. Yet it is a story told with joy, even humour, in lyrical, hypnotic prose that will stay with you long after you turn the last page.”
Peter 2.0: The Human Cyborg by Peter Morgan Scott
“The incredible book behind the primetime Channel 4 documentary, Peter: The Human Cyborg. A remarkable account of what it means to be human and what technology can really achieve.”
