The sentence above is the perfect example of why I was quoted on the back cover of THE CHASE as saying, “A new novel from Candice Fox is a must-read event.” Read More

I haven’t read Claire-Louise Bennett’s debut novel, POND. Although many people have recommended it to me, they’ve been largely unable to describe it to me when asked. “It’s one of those novels you just have to read for yourself,” they might say. Now, after reading Bennett’s dazzling second novel, I know exactly what they mean. Read More
Teaser
In a working-class town in a county west of London, a schoolgirl scribbles stories in the back pages of her exercise book, intoxicated by the first sparks of her imagination. As she grows, everything and everyone she encounters become fuel for a burning talent. The large Russian man in the ancient maroon car who careens around the grocery store where she works as a checkout clerk, and slips her a copy of BEYOND GOOD AND EVIL. The growing heaps of other books in which she loses --- and finds --- herself. Even the derailing of a friendship, in a devastating violation. The thrill of learning to conjure characters and scenarios in her head is matched by the exhilaration of forging her own way in the world.
