Coming in at sixth place for our 2021 recommendations on Review Season is Emma Stonex's 'The Lamplighters'. One of the sad necessities of review season is that in order to numb the pain of making our list, criteria are king, and that often places our personal favourites outside the podium. The Lamplighters, is such a case. This haunting, lyrical and enveloping exploration into an impossible crime and the people left behind by it, made waves internationally this year, and Flex thinks it was well deserved.
