Books Quarterly

Please note: we are currently evaluating Books Quarterly magazine - we remain committed to sharing news, views and reviews about books - and hope to announce something exciting shortly.

In the spring issue's cover feature you'll be guided around some of the world's most exciting locations by six debut novelists; the settings for their gripping novels range from Moscow to Zimbabwe, the Balkans and Kashmir.

Elsewhere in the issue, Jean M Auel rounds off her Earth's Children series with the Land of Painted Caves; Philip Hensher crosses swords with Adam Mars-Jones discussing King of the Badgers; Simon Sebag Montefiore reveals his family link to Jerusalem; Tim Flannery is optimistic about the world's future in Here on Earth; Jenny Downham deals with playground politics; we meet When God Was a Rabbit debut novelist Sarah Winman; Peter James praises Brighton Rock; and Jennifer Egan spins a moving and experimental New York yarn in A Visit From the Goon Squad.
