First Love by Gwendoline Riley
First Love is uncomfortable reading. Gwendoline Riley’s skill at depicting abusive and horrifying relationships makes it hard but rewarding.

The Safekeep by Yael van der Wouden
The Safekeep is historical literary romance, which is not generally my bag. I loved it. The less you know going in the better. I think this one is going to win a lot of awards.

The Vegetarian by Han Kang, tr. by Deborah Smith
This is a beast of a book about trauma, families and personal agency. It’s haunted me for weeks since I’ve finished it.
