The Whalebone Theatre: A Read with Jenna Pick

Joanna Quinn
Rachel ClarkeRachel Clarke

Joanna Quinn’s The Whalebone Theatre is perfect for fans of Anthony Doerr’s All The Light We Cannot See. An epic, sweeping saga set against the backdrop of WW2 & starring a wild & unruly girl, Cristabel, who fights to be herself in a society stacked against women. https://t.co/okFKNVUMWy

Night Train

Martin Amis
Rachel ClarkeRachel Clarke

This is a wonderful review of what is, I believe, Martin Amis’s most underrated book: Night Train. Short, sharp, spare & devastating on what drives someone with everything (or so it seems) to suicide. https://t.co/TMXC2Ui9Xq

Mind Blowing

L. P. Maxa
Rachel ClarkeRachel Clarke

A few Books of the Year 2022… First up, @robdelaney’s simply MIND-BLOWING memoir about the death of his toddler, Henry, from brain cancer. Yes, madly painful to read but also madly beautiful & funny & profound & just unforgettably, ludicrously good. My mind is still blown πŸ’™ https://t.co/drp9zRxyD3
