SHEER. BRILLIANCE. Best of the year so far. The kind of novel that makes me remember why I love reading. I have always held Michael Cunningham’s work in the highest esteem, but wow…this book.

Out of stock

Brilliant. Hear me out: yes, it’s kind of about a taxidermied aardvark. For this reason I wondered if I would like it. You guys, this novel is AMAZING. It’s set in dual timelines — modern day Washington DC and Victorian-era Britain. It’s about love and desire, ambition and self-deception.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND this beaut by @dollyalderton — it’s a break-up novel and I loved every minute. Alderton’s command of her characters is brilliant. It’s sharp, funny, fast-moving, meaningful and poignant. Perfect to brighten your winter

Adored this book. If you’re a Laurie Colwin fan, you should read this book. It’s about the world of publishing but more than that, it’s a love letter to New York City, a place I lived before cellphones, when I was young and had no money. The ending is just perfect. Bravo @dkois

BEST BOOK of the year so far... Full disclosure: I picked this up a year ago and thought, Do I want to read about World War I? Not really. And so I set it down. Thank god, someone recommended it... THIS BOOK IS EVERYTHING... It’s a boarding school novel, a love story, a classic for the ages.

Before you put an end to your summer reading, you should check out this beauty by @caitlinshetterly — I adored it. A gorgeously written and emotionally complex novel about a marriage and a family who leave Manhattan for Maine during the pandemic. Highly recommended!

You guys! This luscious, captivating novel based on the life of Peggy Guggenheim is set primarily in the 1920s in Paris, New York and London; it has all the delicious period details about a woman’s journey through the worlds of art and literature... Highly recommended!

Wow. Here’s a master class in how to write a gripping, propulsive novel at the highest level. Extraordinary @eleanorcattonauthor — what a triumph. LOVED.

This is of the best of the year so far. Accessible, engrossing, a family you’ll never forget. Brava @kimcolemanfoote and @sjplit for bringing COLEMAN HILL to the world. I loved it so much that I immediately put it in my novel The Academy (the fifth-form is reading it in English class.) Instant classic.

A must-read in my opinion. Propulsive and compelling, sumptuously written. Lots of sex (some of you will love this, some won’t.) I will never forget this novel @mirandajuly — genius.
