I don't know about you, but first-timers have produced some excellent reads for me lately. Perhaps because it's so difficult to get into print, the calibre of new authors at present seems exceptionally high. Other debut novels I've reviewed recently with admiration include: [[Devotion by Nell Leyshon]], [[Black Rock by Amanda Smyth]] and [[The Seamstress by Frances de Pontes Peebles]].
