Amanda Berriman, Doubleday, £12.99

Schoolteacher Berriman’s powerful debut novel about the harsh realities of poverty is told through the innocent lens of four-year-old Jesika.

The deliberate misspellings jar at first, but a few chapters in, it’s a challenge to not become completely engrossed and concerned for her family’s wellbeing.a thought-provoking book. OUR VERDICT 9/10
