A very good top 10, including #TheHypocrite by Jo and #MonkeyGrip AND #TheChildrensBach by Helen Garner

A very happy paperback publication day to Naoise Dolan's #TheHappyCouple .

A sparkling ensemble novel about who and how we love, I cannot recommend it more.

And it was a pleasure to see Naoise talking about it Waterstones Brighton with Alexandra Heminsley last night.

The story of a father and a daughter, of the holiday that changed their relationship, and the hot day in a London theatre that might break it - Jo's #TheHypocrite is the best novel I have ever read about generational divides. It made me laugh and it made me cry.

'Brilliant' Natasha Brown

'I enjoyed it hugely' David Nicholls

'An acid chamber piece. I loved it' Chris Power

'A sharp book, beautifully written' Rumaan Alam

'A perfect and perfectly merciless novel' Sarah Bernstein

On Sunday, I had the pleasure of watching the great Margaret Drabble interviewing Catherine Taylor about #TheStirrings at Cambridge Literary Festival

We published #ExcitingTimes by Naoise Dolan almost exactly four years ago.

This week, Naoise is in the UK to launch her sparkling second novel, #TheHappyCouple , in paperback.

And in Dublin, thanks to Spotify, #ExcitingTimes is up on billboards.

' #TheHypocrite examines an excruciating father-daughter tussle playing out on stage and confirms #JoHamya as a fine chronicler of modern anxieties. I have rarely underlined so many passages in a book'

'Hamya writes with real wit. Her style has rightly been compared to Rachel Cusk’s. With this original novel — sensitively observed and artfully paced — she breaks out into something of her own.'

@lucythynne on Jo 's #TheHypocrite in Literary Review

'Could I write something where both parties were wrong and they were both utterly sympathetic, but the reader would still – especially if they spend time on the internet – feel conscious of wanting to take sides?'

Jo, author of #TheHypocrite being brilliant in The Observer

I’ve written a bit more on my Instagram stories about the second novel from Claire Lombardo but can I just say here the final chapter was just so so good and the biggest emotional punch and I’m not sure I’m ready to start a new book tonight.

We are living in #TimeShelter by Georgi Gospodinov

'Raunchy 21st century Virginia Woolf ... My favourite debut novel for ages and ages'

I love this recommendation for #Practice by #RosalindBrown from John at LRB Bookshop

'It’s always dangerous to give people a way to tell themselves stories.'

Today we publish #TheMorningside by one of your very best story-tellers, #TeaObreht , author of #TheTigersWife , about one young girl living in a luxury tower block in a dying city.

Do not miss it!

THE HYPOCRITE is an LRB Bookshop spring pick!! Thank you Gayle Lazda 💚

#TheStirrings by Catherine Taylor is a story of coming of age in Northern Time, of hot nights and long days, strikes and protests and the Yorkshire Ripper.

It has been praised by many inc Laura Cumming, Jonathan Coe, Susie Boyt, Richard Beard, Jade Angeles Fitton, & is out now in PB!

💜💛💜💛

And PRACTICE by Rosalind Brown (out now, W&N): a day in the life of a student as she tries to write an essay on Shakespeare's sonnets. It follows her thoughts as she works, eats, meditates, shits - a difficult thing to pull off, and it's so well done londonreviewbookshop.co.uk/stock/practice…
