Briefly, A Delicious Life is inspired by a period of George Sand and Frédéric Chopin's relationship, set in 1838 Valldemossa. I wanted to hear more from Amélie, what do you think?

Caledonian Road opens a window into the lives of the wealthy and landed, their tangled political interests and pervasive sense of entitlement, while simultaneously following the stories of immigrants forced into illegal and dangerous work in exchange for life in a new country

By Palestinian author and journalist Yasmin Zaher, The Coin explores the diasporic experience in startling clarity, all through the eyes of a sharply-drawn narrator. I'm excited for its publication in July!

With an urgent focus on generational trauma and beautiful, ever-thoughtful prose, Michael Magee's Close to Home was a truly moving read.

I loved the inventive setting of this book and enjoyed Nicholls’s focus on finding love after divorce, but felt that Marnie, the female lead, lacked some depth to her character. Read the full review on Entirely Fictitious 🧭

I thought that the pairing of Neil Gaiman’s theatrical and direct style with these early imaginings of the world’s great powers was a perfect fit 🗻 More on my trip to Norway on my blog!

Germania had an engaging style and honed in on lots of interesting cultural traditions but I felt it ultimately didn’t do justice to its title as a ‘Personal History of Germans Ancient and Modern.’

This is a novel of massive ambition, one that attempts to chronicle one man’s youth whilst simultaneously capturing the divisiveness of political ideology in the early twentieth century.

Impossible Creatures is a beautifully-crafted tale of friendship as well as a feat of ambitious, all-encompassing world-building and I can see it becoming a children’s classic in no time at all 🐉

In a new feature, I will be looking at representations of mythical creatures in fiction and exploring the fantastical world of mythical beasts on my blog. Here is the Wurmeck, or 'Serpent’s Corner' of Munich's Town Hall, where a scaly surprise awaits...

Reading 'My Name is Lucy Barton' was my first foray into @LizStrout's writing and this was a novel I loved dipping into on train journeys and in quiet moments this week.

I was up all night reading The Bee Sting, desperate to find out the fate of the Barnes family, and I was consistently taken aback by Murray’s ability to draw you into the characters’ lives and be devastated by the consequences. #BookTwitter #bookerprize

If you’ll pardon the pun, this book was, indeed, really good, actually and I’d recommend it if you’re looking for a read that gives you the highs and lows of your favourite sitcom #monicaheisey

A reflection on discrimination in writing as well as on, in R. F. Kuang’s own words, ‘loneliness in a fiercely competitive industry’, Yellowface is an excellent modern horror story, grounded in terrible realities.

Selja Ahava's things that fall from the sky was an ambitious novel, but ultimately, I felt it had too pessimistic an outlook, suggesting that we can only be passive observers of fateful events 🌧️
