Jennifer Croft's Reading List

"I just finished reading "Chain-Gang All-Stars," by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah, which is a masterpiece. He is brilliant and sensitive."

"I especially love "Doomi Golo: The Hidden Notebooks," translated by Vera Wülfing-Leckie and El Hadji Moustapha Diop."

"I love Aoife McMahon's narration of Sally Rooney's "Normal People" and "Conversations With Friends." I love getting a feel for the Irish rhythms of Rooney's prose... very soothing."

"I frequently also return to Merlin Sheldrake narrating his own gorgeous book about fungi and connectedness, "Entangled Life.""

"You don't need prior knowledge of, say, Iceland or Icelandic in order to appreciate Victoria Cribb's translation of Sjón's "Moonstone: The Boy Who Never Was.""
