Mr B’s Top Books of 2025 – Sôffi

We’re counting down to Christmas with Team B’s books of the year… here’s Sôffi’s shortlist, with Endling by Maria Reva taking the coveted top spot!

Ukraine, 2022. Maverick scientist Yeva is about to embark on a journey with two angry women, a van load of kidnapped men, and one endangered snail through a country on the brink of war. Sôffi says: “Hilarious and heartfelt, Endling takes on environmental entropy, the marriage industry and the Russia-Ukraine war, wrapping them up in playful irony and masterful prose. A thrilling and surprising book delivering the gut punch of a Percival Everett novel, told with the wit and pathos of George Saunders.”
