This is a beauty of a book ❤️📚📚. Quiet love and friendship rendered in a graceful, rhythmic beat. The words will seep through you and shatter your heart. It’s exquisite ❤️ Big thanks to Anthony Shapland and Granta for the proof copy. Out March.

The #irishwritersweekend at the @britishlibrary.bsky.social was brilliant - so many great panels and loved chatting with Caoilinn Hughes, @seamas.bsky.social and Claire Kilroy. 📚📚

A great point. And unlike art, fashion, fine dining, architecture, etc – the highest quality literature in the world costs no more than any other books.
It's a basic fact that you can spend £9.99 on a good book that could last you a few weeks (if you pace yourself).
It's really quite the investment to be taken away on a fantastic journey or grow to love a character. Or learn new things.
It's also fairly cheap way to keep your brain healthy.
