We’ve been busy and during the past year we have extended our list to include new novels, non-fiction, short stories, poetry and children’s fiction. Each work offers you something unique, diverse and bold – from Black Country noir, to the new English grotesque, from chthonic political realism, to an 800-year-old narrator of love and literature. We have an overview of the political and cultural turbulence of our age, and a warm, generous and instructive picture of life as a GP in modern Britain. There is an extraordinary range of superb reads on offer, we hope you love them all. From everyone at Salt, we wish you every success during 2019.
