The must-read books to come in 2018

James Kidd, writing in the South China Morning Post, has included The Western Wind in his must-reads of 2018.

‘Trumping all the above might be Samantha Harvey, whose relative anonymity should end if her next novel, The Western Wind, does as well as it deserves come March. Set in 15th-century England, it is a murder mystery, an acute dissection of class and money, and fabulously written.’
