A deceptively brief novel about making difficult decisions in dark times. The moral dilemma at the heart of this quiet but intense story about the Magdalene laundry scandal in Ireland stayed with me long after I’d finished reading.

I read the novel On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong while on tour and the language often stopped me in my tracks... It’s not an obvious beach read, but I’m looking forward to being still and having the space to read and then reread his powerful words.
