Such a pleasure and a joy to talk to the brilliant Monica Ali, and what an early treat for listeners - you get to hear her discussing her fabulous new novel ‘Love Marriage’, which is being published in February. I laughed, I cried, I flat-out loved it! https://t.co/wWxenfgWa3

For this month's Re-Covered column @parisreview I've written about one of the oddest but most fascinating books I've ever come across, 'Lucy's Nose' (1992) by Cecily Mackworth, which is part hybrid-novel, part memoir, part travelogue https://t.co/R7NAfLbg6F

Loved Emma Donoghue's descriptions of the natural world, but I wasn't entirely convinced by the plot of her new novel 'Haven' - my @TelegraphBooks review is up online now https://t.co/sH7yiVQ1D5

@LuridEditions My pleasure! Am a fan of Elizabeth Mavor’s ‘The Ladies of Llangollen’ so am very eager to read a different take on the relationship. Can’t wait!

"a strange, luminous, and beguiling work by a writer with a mysterious and captivating Caribbean voice, who shied away from publicity and is now resurrected" - @colincraiggrant on Roy Heath's 'The Murderer', out now from @McNallyEditions https://t.co/wBkTwI7owA via @nybooks

From the weekend, my @TelegraphBooks review of the book everyone's talking about, Three Women by Lisa Taddeo, an impressive, compelling but ultimately problematic work of narrative non-fiction about female desire https://www.telegraph.co.uk/books/what-to-read/three-women-lisa-taddeo-review-sex-vampire-fantasy-sex-traumatic/
