A Flicker in the Dark
Stacy Willingham
@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
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.

The Ivy Tree: Volume 7
Mary Stewart
@AndrewJRTaylor Someone reminded me of Mary Stewart's The Ivy Tree which is a very good version of it. JT was the best though!

Lady of Quality
Georgette Heyer
@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.

Fables
Aesop
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

Fragile
Sarah Hilary
@wurdsmyth @sarah_hilary @simontoyne @HarperCollinsUK @panmacmillan It’s really lovely to hear someone you know knows their stuff talking about your work. And I loved Fragile too!

Foster
Claire Keegan
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
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.
