Margaret McDonald
This is character-led contemporary fiction centred on two care-experienced young men. It explores how they manage trauma, vulnerability and change without necessarily resolving their past, while keeping a strong sense of place and emotional warmth.
Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé
A tense boarding-school mystery about disappearance, grief and alliance-building. Its international, multi-ethnic and multi-religious cast includes positively portrayed queer characters, while Gothic atmosphere and several intertwined storylines create a more demanding emotional and structural experience.
Josh Silver
This is a dark, plot-driven psychological thriller about emotional numbness, memory and simulated traumatic experiences. Its central mystery follows Eli’s growing suspicion that Traumaland conceals something more dangerous.
John Steinbeck
This is a demanding, historically grounded family story that combines severe hardship with compassion, solidarity and social criticism. Its emotional force comes from people trying to preserve dignity and connection while facing displacement, hunger and injustice.
