Reviews
Sunstruck is a searing read that makes you feel like you’re roasting in a European summer. Starting with a Saltburn-esque premise, Hunter’s characters move beyond a French chateau into London.
Exploring themes of masculinity, desire, power, class and sexuality, Sunstruck is great debut to add to the pile.
Sunstruck is the winner of the #Merky prize, which is Stormy’s imprint with Penguin.

We Do Not Part, is Nobel Prize winner Han Kang’s latest novel. It starts with a curious premise: A woman, Kyungha, sets on a mission from Seoul to Jeju island on behalf of her artist friend, Inseon, who has badly cut her hand in an accident. The task is to feed her bird Ama before it dies.
A poetic and political novel, We Do Not Part ultimately traverses trauma, loss, reparations and the desperate need not to forget the past.
