Tracy Chevalier on X
Tracy Chevalier is an author. Writer; author of 10 novels, including GIRL WITH A PEARL EARRING, AT THE EDGE OF THE ORCHARD, and the latest, A SINGLE THREAD.
Ex-Wife
Ursula ParrottTracy ChevalierThis novel is an utter surprise. Written in the 1920s yet feels contemporary; it blew out of the water my stereotyped expectations of people's behaviour then. Funny, entertaining, eye-opening. Well worth a read.

Trespasses
Louise KennedyTracy ChevalierIn reviewing Louise Kennedy's novel Trespasses in the Guardian, Kevin Power writes: "The prose manages both to surprise and to delight without ever calling undue attention to itself." This is the Shangri-la most writers are looking for.

The Escape Artist: The Man Who Broke Out of Auschwitz to Warn the World
Jonathan FreedlandTracy ChevalierOk I'm pontificating in this clip, but about a remarkable book, The Escape Artist by Jonathan Freeland, deservedly shortlisted for the Baillie Gifford Prize. One of my books of the year. @Freedland @BGPrize https://t.co/Vu64NuRT3b

Lockdown
Peter MayTracy ChevalierToday's #Lockdown art: Portrait of Margaretha de Geer by Rembrandt (1661). Very hard to keep this painter out of my favourites because, alongside Vermeer & Cezanne, he is a genius. I love how she is so stern and controlled, yet crumpling the handkerchief her one sign of weakness. https://t.co/zRxxsxzXp7

So Late in the Day: Stories of Women and Men
Claire KeeganTracy ChevalierWhat a gem this is. Every word counts. Also, Claire Keegan is the queen of the seemingly unnecessary but well-placed comma. I expect she and her copy editor had some tussles...

On the Calculation of Volume (Book I): Shortlisted for the 2025 International Booker Prize
Solvej BalleTracy ChevalierThis book. Whoa. A woman wakes up and it's 18th November over and over. Like Groundhog Day but without humour (because no Bill Murray) and with philosophising that I'm still thinking about. A very different kind of read. And there are sequels - more 18th Novembers!
