Thanks @shelfawareness.bsky.social for choosing THE SCRAPBOOK as one of this week’s best books: “Heather Clark’s first novel is a finely wrought, subtle love story burdened by the weight of the past.”

I’m in England for less than 48 hours, but I had to go up to Yorkshire to pay my respects. ❤️

The world is on fire but I’m taking a moment to sit with this story by Celia McGee about my grandfather’s WWII scrapbook, and the ways it inspired my novel, in this week’s @nytimesart.bsky.social

THE SCRAPBOOK is published today by @pantheonbooks.bsky.social. Thank you to everyone who has supported me on this long road. It wasn’t easy to research and write a novel about the Nazis’ lingering legacy of hate, but I’m glad I did. This is a book for our times
