Luster, by Raven Leilani, Picador, £14.99. It is also a haunting, aching description of how hard it is to believe in your own talent and the unexpected influences that bring us into ourselves along the way. Raven Leilani’s debut novel is a stylistic triumph full of wit and sharp observation, although the plotting leaves a little to be desired. Luster is a cold, hard look at life in a dirty 21st-century metropolis for a struggling young woman craving stability.
