Muzungu by Rod Madocks

A reflection on a childhood in Africa at the end of empire and how that has inexorably shaped the author into the man he was and is now

An easy read of a murder mystery featuring a French journalist and an ancient artefact

A book very much of our times, A.I. Fabler’s novel starts as a search for the truth about a copied painting but becomes much more

A collection of poems, heartfelt and honest, written by a man caring for his elderly parents, one of whom, his father, has dementia

Not a bad first effort from a new author about two young people, unhappy with life who are given a second chance

Short but definitely not sweet, this novella holds all the hallmarks of a good short story and is threaded with dark humour throughout

The wonderfully told story of Toby Wey who, from humble origins, has an adventurous, character-filled life surviving by living on his wits

A well-paced thriller set in Paris in the 50s about a man trying to find the truth of his wife’s death, in a troubled and war-scarred city

The lovely story of Anna who, when the life that she has always known is torn part, is faced with a choice-resent or embrace the change?

One line cannot do this story justice – a tale of a young girl in a life that no young girl should ever encounter.
