This really is an exceptional debut. The prose is gorgeous. A quiet book but gripping and moving. Can't think when I last read a debut this good. Congratulations to @dauntbookspub.bsky.social for getting this book out ....
Wonderful @thetls.bsky.social review by @alicejolly.bsky.social for Alice Chadwick's DARK LIKE UNDER, praising Chadwick's brilliant descriptive powers & characterisation, & how 'the book grows in power' to become 'deeply moving and profoundly sad': www.the-tls.co.uk/literature/f...
Dark Like Under by Alice Chadwick | Book review | The TLS
Alice Chadwick’s impressive debut novel unfolds within a twenty-four-hour period in a nameless small town in 1980s England. Teenagers, out on a hot summer

I have just finished this #booksky, and I am in pieces. An unbelievably moving story about love, memory and aging, it is beautiful in so many ways. I can't wait to discuss this with my FB book club. Also I'm off to give both of my parents an enormous hug.
