Three Aitken Alexander authors have been chosen by the ipaper as three of the best books published this year so far:-
FICTION
Bernardine Evaristo
Hamish Hamilton, £16.99
Evaristo’s sparkling prose and subversive plots surprise and intrigue. This imaginative, joy-filled eighth novel tells the story of black British womanhood through a variety of voices.
FICTION
Mark Haddon
Chatto & Windus, £18.99
Haddon’s first novel since 2012’s The Red House – he brought out a short-story collection in 2016 – is a stunning blend of adventure and myth which tells the story of Pericles across different eras and timelines, radically reinventing it again and again.
THRILLER
Jo Baker
Doubleday, £12.99
Many books out this year deal with the #MeToo movement. None are as sharp or as satisfying as Baker’s clever combination of campus satire and psychological suspense.
