…”her beautifully written memoir, CLOISTERED, which one reads with fascination, empathy and mounting alarm”. Catherine Coldstream interviewed by Kate Kellaway for today’s Observer about her memoir of life as a nun, coming from Chatto & Windus on the 7th March and St Martins USA

HENRY HENRY by Allen Bratton (May, Jonathan Cape) I feel a bit meh about Shakespeare retellings, but I'm so glad I read this. It's very funny, until it's utterly devastating. HATE being made to care deeply about coked-up aristocrats, but here we are⁣ londonreviewbookshop.co.uk/stock/henry-he…

Please do get in touch, so we can make the most of rare and exciting chance of having Allen this side of the pond this summer! 👑

Happiest of publication days to Henry Henry. A brilliant recasting of Shakespeare's Henriad plays for the modern era, it's one of the finest and funniest debuts I've read in a very long time. So happy it's out in the world today: read it and weep! 👑💦💜

The rumours are true! Launch event for SCAFFOLDING is now live 🌆 @LaurenElkin in conversation with octavia bright at the London Review Bookshop - not one to miss! eventbrite.co.uk/e/lauren-elkin…

I mean, sure there’s lots of things I *could* have done this afternoon but spending an hour on the couch finishing #Scaffolding by the insanely talented @LaurenElkin was the only possible option. A stunning debut novel that deserves to be huge xxx
