I find it a bit startling that Josephine Tey and Helen Dunmore are new to you ... until I check out my own 'first-timers which include Helen Garner and David Constantine, Ed Chatterton and Clare Kilroy.
I'm still playing catch-up on loads of well-established authors - a task that will no doubt never end. Which is no bad thing, I feel.
