The Last Night CESCA MAJOR (CORVUS, £7.99)

FromThe Silentthe author Hours of (one of heat’s top picks for 2015) comes this equally mesmeric and atmospheri­c tale set in both the present day and the 1950s. Abigail is our past heroine, who moves to the coast with her sister after her mother dies, and falls for a local fisherman. In the present, furniture-restorer Irina is hiding from the world, but something eerie is refusing to be ignored… Compelling, captivatin­g and incredibly moving – this is a class act.

Good As You PAUL FLYNN (EBURY, £20)

This entertaini­ng fascinatin­g book and from effortless­ly witty Grazia columnist Flynn is a personal history of gay male life and pop culture over the past 30 years. He touches upon such milestones as the romance of Elton John and David Furnish, and the game-changing arrival of Queer As Folk on Channel 4. The narrative includes observatio­ns from gay icons Kylie, Russell T Davies and Will Young, and is as incisive about gay culture as Caitlin Moran’s books are about feminism. HHHH Boyd Hilton
