A Flicker in the Dark

@LucyMangan Ooh, tough one to follow. I’ve really enjoyed reading Lisa Unger recently - Confessions on the 7.45 is great. A Flicker in the Dark by Stacy Willingham is also very good.

Experience: A Memoir

Martin Amis
Jane CaseyJane Casey

If you read nothing else by Martin Amis, read Experience, his memoir. The parts about his murdered cousin, Lucy Partington, are utterly searing. Crime with a precision of language and thought and feeling that’s indelible.

@AndrewJRTaylor Someone reminded me of Mary Stewart's The Ivy Tree which is a very good version of it. JT was the best though!

@sarramanning No, deffo Heyer! I don't want to trifle with my emotions. I want solid, reliable Georgette. Lady of Quality is a very good suggestion.

There is a small but prolific fig tree in my little garden and every night this week foxes have come to pick the ripe figs they can reach and it's THE most Aesop's fables thing.

Wildfire at Midnight

Mary Stewart

I will be reading Wildfire at Midnight by Mary Stewart this weekend. It begins as Gianetta Brooke flees London and the coronation madness last time round. There’s murder, mountains and one of my favourite characters, Nicholas Drury, a moody writer. https://t.co/T74BEbK3N5

I hope Claire Keegan wins the Booker Prize but either way you should all read Foster, her novella, which is a perfect piece of writing.

The Witches

Roald Dahl
Jane CaseyJane Casey

I read Roald Dahl as a child. I remember The Witches and Matilda being published and reading them over and over again. I was a fat, very shortsighted child who was clumsy and had a bowl haircut. I was also Charlie when I read Charlie & the Chocolate Factory, not Augustus Gloop.
