-PJ Johnson’s hugely enjoyable debut novel Isla Rising not only (re)animates the living and the dead alike with her vivid prose; she resurrects a 19th-century Edinburgh, with all its darkness, dangers, and superstitions, such that you’re drawn inexorably into this romantic adventure of love beyond the grave without ever once doubting its veracity. One of the heroes is even a cat! What’s not to like?
