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 Dictionary of Light launched last night 💚 Celebrating the 12 writers of the 2024 Rhys Davies Short Story Award! Thanks again to all the featured authors, @elaine-canning.bsky.social, Rebecca F. John and to @swanseastones.bsky.social for hosting us!
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.
