They\u2019ve been told their parents both died young from heart attacks, obediently accepting their daily medicine, recounting their dreams and attending lessons based on the Book of Knowledge. Brought up in isolation, they\u2019re polite and well behaved, treated with disdain on rare visits to the local town, comments that make no sense to them muttered as they pass. There\u2019s a lot of darkness in Chidgey\u2019s novel which asks questions about nature and nurture, what makes us human, and the ethics of research all wrapped up in a gripping piece of storytelling.

Frannie and her father established the Albion Project a decade ago, rewilding their Sussex estate. Before his death, Philip had promised his son enough land to establish a centre for the psilocybin therapy Milo believed had cured his own addiction. While Frannie and Milo wrangle over the estate\u2019s precarious finances, the daughter of one of Philip\u2019s many lovers has decided to attend his funeral and is about to drop a bombshell. Hope explores class, privilege, climate change and colonialism, deftly weaving her message about the foundation of wealth and where it comes from through an absorbing story. I found the ending a bit too neat and tidy, but it does leave readers with hope.
