Mr B’s Top Books of 2025 – Sue

We’re counting down to Christmas with Team B’s books of the year… here’s Sue’s shortlist, with Seascraper by Benjamin Wood taking the coveted top spot!

Each day, like his grandfather before him, young Thomas scrapes the tideline for shrimp. Cold and wet, he dreams of warmth and success as a folk musician. When a chance encounter opens him up to the possibility of a different life, Thomas has a choice to make. But what is true and what is not? Sue says: “I loved it for its haunting sense of place and its poignant portrayal of a small life reaching for fulfilment. A perfect book for fans of The Offing.”
