Mr B’s Top Books of 2025 – Laura GM

We’re counting down to Christmas with Team B’s books of the year… here’s Laura GM’s shortlist, with I Gave You Eyes and You Looked Toward Darkness by Irene Solà taking the coveted top spot!

Bernadeta lies on her deathbed as the ghosts of her ancestors keep vigil over her and her descendants tidy around her, feed her, watch videos. The dead women of Mas Clavell tell their stories: reapers, bandits, wolves, and the devil itself: now as a goat, now as a bull, both enemy and lover. Laura GM says: “Otherworldly, folkloric, and atmospheric, Solà’s prose is playful and so vividly painted that you can almost hear the shadows.”
