Haunting, poetic, sterile yet bursting with sensation, The Employees stayed with me long after I put it down. A series of intimate reflections on what it means to be human, to live in the face of death and spend that life working, disconnected from the natural world and from each other. Recommended especially for anyone who works, who is interested in the ethics of AI, or who has asked “is this all there is?” --Henry
Totally gripping from page one, this mystery ticks all the boxes. A heroic main character who rises above countless obstacles to achieve greatness. A stolen family heirloom. Racial reckoning and historical truths brought to light. And an elite international music competition. --Maggie

Coco Mellors knows how to craft an unforgettable and unputdownable story. Cleo, a young British artist, and Frank, a middle-aged ad man, meet on New Year's Eve and rush into marriage. As we learn more about how their lives mirror the complicated lives and relationships of their friends and family, we watch Cleo and Frank’s relationship begin to waver and then eventually unravel. This memorable, moving debut novel explores addiction and mental illness, love, lust, and friendship, in a poignant but delightfully entertaining way. I look forward to reading more from Mellors in the future. --Jennie
