The ten best fiction debuts of 2012

Steve Donoghue named his ten best fiction debuts of 2012, including:

An Uncommon Education by Elizabeth Percer

This wrenching roman-a-clef about a socially maladroit young student at Wellesley College has all the quirky, dysfunctional hallmarks that should have made it insufferable, even for a debut – but Percer’s huge narrative intelligence saves the day time and again.
