The Land in Winter by Andrew Miller is set during the freezing winter of 1963 and follows two couples as their lives begin to fall apart. It’s a quiet, powerful story about relationships under pressure. Miller says he aims to capture the full human experience without forcing a message—and critics agree, with The Guardian calling it possibly his best work yet.

Summer Rolls by Tuyên Đỗ is a powerful family drama set in 1990s London. It follows Mai, a British-Vietnamese teen navigating two cultures and clashing with her protective mother, Trinh, a refugee from war-torn Vietnam. Đỗ explores identity, generational conflict, and the legacy of the Vietnam War in a story praised as poetic, nuanced, and deeply moving.
Church Going by Andrew Ziminski is a lively and insightful look at the architecture of British and Irish churches, from lychgates to crypts. Drawing on his experience as a stonemason, Ziminski explores medieval churches with warmth and humor. Packed with illustrations, it’s a charming guide to our religious heritage—complete with some unforgettable details (like the Sheela-na-gig).
Hollow Grave is the latest in Kate Webb’s gripping Wiltshire-based crime series featuring DI Matt Lockyer and DC Gemma Broad. This time, they investigate the 1999 disappearance of a woman from an archaeological dig. As always, Lockyer’s own past looms large. Webb, also known for her bestselling historical novels under the name Katherine Webb, has been praised as a standout new voice in crime fiction.

Logging Off by Adele Zeynep Walton is a powerful critique of our digital world. Drawing from personal tragedy and her experience as a Gen Z journalist, Walton explores how social media harms us while tech companies profit. The book offers both a warning and a guide to reclaiming a healthier, more humane digital future. Walton is also a campaigner for online safety and co-founder of the Logging Off Club, promoting real-world connection.
