There is this culture of shame that’s connected to what we do want, and I think that's why [Taddeo's] writing hits home for so many women...finally feels like we have other women's experiences that we can listen to...it's kind of taking away the shame from sex.

Ever so occasionally, you pick up a book and it spins you around and turns you upside down. This is one of those books... author Max Porter ripped up the rule book of what a novel should do and instead presents us with something so wild, so mind-bending and just so beautiful.

This book is both uplifting and gut-wrenching, often at the same time... At its heart, it is a story about the many different ways to be a family, and it made me reflect on what an honour it is to care for someone you truly love.

This book brilliantly surfaces a multitude of questions about race, class, and gender... I was struck by how the novel so cleverly raises questions of heritage and identity while remaining non-judgmental, empathetic, and full of heart. I raced through this book and I’m sure you will too.

In This House of Grief, Helen takes us inside the real-life trial of Robert Farquharson... Although Helen has been writing for almost 50 years, her work is new to me and it’s a thrilling discovery. She’s one of the most fascinating writers I have come across in recent years.

Animal farm meets Nineteen Eighty Four in a thinly-disguised metaphor for Zimbabwe, where the Old Horse is deposed by the Crocodile and all hell ensues. Glory manages to combine satire and story in a way which is authentically African and which I found deeply moving.

This book allowed me to see both the artist and his work in a totally different way, giving insights to the symbols and words that repeat in his paintings and revealing the true creative genius behind the icon.
