Staff Reviews
Staff Review: The Palestine Laboratory
Loewenstein’s thorough care in putting this book together cements it as a powerful addition to geo-political literature.
Staff Review: The Swimmers
The novel is split into two distinct sections, and Otsuka blends them together in a bewildering yet intriguing way through metaphor.
Staff Review: Enter Ghost
By all means, this is not an easy read, but it is an important one. I won’t be forgetting this story anytime soon.
Staff Review: COUP
A game built off lies, where there are two ways to move forward – play it safe and slow, or lie and hope the others don’t call your bluff.
Gift Vouchers
