Loved #BlackCarBurning by Helen Mort. Such stunning evocation of the urban & natural landscapes around Sheffield, and compassionate insight into the complexities of human relationships, trauma and trust.

Testament by Kim Sherwood has left me moved and impressed and covetous of her exquisite prose. Such a nuanced and intelligent excavation of generational trauma. Will resonate in my thoughts for a while to come.

This powerful memoir by @jennashworth captures so viscerally how trauma can immobilize and derail the present, and is so innovative and expansive in its exploration of all that fiction can’t convey.

Brilliant to see #ThePorticoPrize shortlisted authors interviewed in The Observer New Review this morning. I've nearly finished reading the exceptional shortlist and am so impressed by every book. Read as many as you can: theguardian.com/books/2020/jan…
