Armitage's droll account of hiking England's Pennine Way. Housed and fed in exchange for poetry readings, he reflects on nature, personal challenge and the generosity of strangers. A beautiful depiction of the region, from fells to fog-obscured heights. ~ Reviewed by Amy Palmer

Young German immigrant Erik Schroder invents an identity around which he fashions an imaginary life. During a custody dispute, he flees to New England with his young daughter, Meadow, taking her on an ill-advised road trip and making a series of poor decisions. A multilayered novel about transformation and acknowledging one's own painful truth, Schroder is narrated by a flawed but profoundly human protagonist. ~ Reviewed by Amy Palmer

Part contemporary ghost story, part academic treatise, Artful sparkles with allusion and crackles with wit and brilliance. The narrator, an arborist, is visited by her dead lover, a writer, academic and author of a series of lectures on art and literature. A compilation of the Weidenfeld lectures on European comparative literature given by Smith at St. Anne's College, Oxford in February, 2012, Artful is a set of discursive stories, a commentary on love, loss and connection - to put it briefly - by a dazzling wordsmith. What Ali Smith does with language will inspire you to explore philosophy, poetry and literature with renewed exuberance. ~ Reviewed by Amy Palmer

This collection of stories about women by British author Hall is raw and sensual, the prose bewitching and visceral, tinged with violence and sexuality. Whether ill, broken, bored or triumphant, the voices of these women will resonate long after the stories have ended. ~ Reviewed by Amy Palmer
