So thrilled that our beautiful new VMC edition of #TheYearling is out in the world today, with a beautiful foreword by Michael Morpurgo: a stone-cold classic of American literature and a gem of a coming-of-age tale that should be read by everyone

They’re here! #MaybePerhapsPossibly My unorthodox love story. Out 20 June. Please pre-order if you’d like to. Too self-conscious for an unboxing video so I made a shrine to Addie and Sol. Thank you The Borough Press for this stunning cover. 💙🐚🐙

I’m briefly emerging from the haze of maternity leave to join the excitement around #OrdinaryLove — this novel absolutely floored me when I first read it & I’m so thrilled we’re publishing it. It deserves to be HUGE & I can’t wait for everyone to fall for it as hard as I did.

It was possibly a bit ambitious to choose LBF as my first day back after maternity leave, but loving seeing this jacket on the Hachette stand first thing on entering!!! I’m thrilled to be rejoining the publishing of this astoundingly brilliant novel. #OrdinaryLove.
