Crypto is nonsense. I was hacked - many thanks all!

Enormous excitement. My new novella, Rye, will be broadcast on BBC Radio 4 next week. Working with Sweet Talk is genuinely one of the greatest thrills of my writing life. Grab your cutlass and tricorne and listen! bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

Rye is live! Beautifully read by ⁦⁦Karl Davies⁩ and produced by ⁦Sweet Talk⁩. Wonderful to be back in this world of smugglers and moonlit midnights. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

A few thoughts on #WorldWetlandsDay from the extraordinary Lesser Prespa Lake in northern Greece.

Stunning.

This is a wonderful book. So looking forward to having Nicky to Corfu Literary Festival 💙 this year.

Hadn’t read Joseph O’Connor since Redemption Falls. Loved Ghosts of Rome. So elegant and atmospheric. My review in @NYTimes nytimes.com/2025/02/04/boo…

Here's a little thing I wrote for Rathbones Group Plc about becoming, late in the day, a dog person. rathbones.com/ebrochures/rat…

A miraculous book. Brings dinosaurs to life better than Jurassic Park.

It's (online) publication day. Delighted to have edited the latest volume in the Royal Historical Society's Camden Series with Cambridge University Press - History cambridge.org/core/journals/…

I reviewed Marina Warner’s beautiful book about refuge, refugees and the idea of home for The Observer New Review The Observer observer.co.uk/culture/books/…

I wrote about the Prespa lakes region of northern Greece for the Guardian today. At the crossroads of three countries and my home for the past quarter of a century, it's a place that continues to surprise me with its wild beauty and rich human cultures. theguardian.com/travel/2025/au…
