1) Transcription by Kate Atkinson

2) Putney by Sofka Zinovieff
"A compulsive page-turner about a transgressive relationship between a young composer and a nine-year-old girl. Morally and emotionally complex, it will make you really think about what we mean by consent and abuse. Nabokov for now."
Putney by Sofka Zinovieff, £14.99, Waterstones

3) The House in Little Chelsea by Clare Hastings

4) Warlight by Michael Ondaatje
"I’ve found Ondaatje slightly hard going in the past, but the latest novel from the author of The English Patient is just glorious. Set in post-war London, it tells the story of a boy and his sister apparently abandoned by their mother and looked after by a revolving cast of eccentrics rendered with Dickensian verve. My hot tip for the Booker Prize."
Warlight by Michael Ondaatje, £8.83, Foyles
