Burley Fisher Books of the Year 2025
Emz says… 2024 was my Thomas Bernhard year; this year it’s Daphne Du Maurier. I started a lot of books this year and quit them early and spent a lot of time trying to get motivated to read more. Luckily it’s literally impossible to put a Daphne Du Maurier story down without finishing it. Sometimes you just need a cold hard classic. Treat yourself. She’s got a mad ability to create mystery and suspense. Her stories chance upon uncanny doubles and doppelgangers and transplant the reader into beautiful and threatening landscapes. Don’t Look Now & Other Stories is the perfect Christmas read – it’s all about people who go on holiday or travel for a work trip and become obsessed with the mysteries that they encounter in unfamiliar places.
