Congratulations to @glenjamesbrown.bsky.social for “Set in the fifth century and narrated by an irrepressible bard called Mother Naked, this novel is bawdy, funny and tragic. The voice of Mother Naked is entirely authentic. Both an entertaining read and a serious work of historical fiction.”
Congratulations to @lesfugitivespress.bsky.social for “Celina is a quiet book, written with great integrity. It tells the story of a young woman, born into poverty, who works as a maid in the household of Victor Hugo. In restrained and unsentimental prose it illuminates lives forgotten by history.”
Congratulations to @dividedpublishing for “An urgent, bleakly funny, fragmentary account of displacement, queer desire, and finding a place in the world. Using a collage technique, Bakhti has produced an outstanding novel about identity and endurance.”
Congratulations to @cbeditions.bsky.social for “Offbeat, elegantly written tale about two authors marooned an exchange programme in an unnamed totalitarian country. The narrative voice is great company, by turns droll, plaintive and ruminative.Surprisingly compulsive for a largely plotless novel.”
Congratulations for @bullaunpress.bsky.social for their shortlisting for: “A rollicking, sardonic picaresque set on the French outpost of La Réunion in the. 1980s. The novel has important things to say about colonialism and society, but it’s also tremendous fun — darkly funny, acerbic, energetic.”

A stunning vision of life on a parallel Earth (or two)
In Deborah Tomkins’s Aerth, a smart blend of sci-fi thriller and speculative parable, an Aerthling travels to Urth – with disastrous results
