Black and Asian interest - powerful, moving, illuminating

This list began with the prize-winning Whispers in the Walls: New Black and Asian Voices from Birmingham and with Maeve Clarke's What Goes Round - a vivid, funny acccount of a man's return 'back home' to Jamaica with his teenage daughter. We are proud to feature Austin Clarke's The Polished Hoe. Winner of the Commonwealth Writers Prize, this 'soaring, sorrowful novel of Caribbean life' is a seductive and dangerous read. There's also Mango Shake, which showcases a lively diversity of new British Asian talent, plus Archie Markham's two short story collections.

Look out, too, for Mick Scully's Little Moscow - interlinked tales of criminality and intrigue set around a seedy canalside bar.
