Have started ⁦@elizmccracken⁩ absolutely wonderful new novel The Hero of This Book - every sentence a dream- and I’m afraid I totally recognise my own habits of extreme hoarding in the characters of the narrator’s parents https://t.co/qgaaiwUXzx

@Donna__McLean @cmccrudden @emmavj I have not, for eg, subjected my younger relatives to Flambards, which I still adore. (Ah, Judy Blume! I remember when Forever was serialised in Jackie magazine -best advice for me from that book was not the stuff about teenage sex - but rather don't wash your hair with a cold)

Such a terrific shortlist -!full of books with so much to ponder over and fully representative of the times we live in now. I loved the Donne biography and A Fortunate Woman, and My Fourth Time We Drowned should be required reading on the refugee crisis. #BGPrize2022 https://t.co/IUd1f28LLH
