Privileged to review @TheTLS Edith Holler by Edward Carey @GallicBooks Was a huge fan of his novel 'Little' which tells the story of the early life of Madame Tussaud. This new book is just as inventive, engaging, odd & powerful. He is a true original. #litfic#histfic#amreading
'...macabre and menacing, ripe with references to fairy tale and folklore... A virtuoso performance'
Brilliant to see #EdithHoller by Edward Carey reviewed in @TheTLS!

Our October BOTM is a poetic 'gem of a debut' that has stayed with us long after the final page.
