Gráinne Murphy

Helen, Annie & Laura drifted apart at 18 & are now drawn back together, but can old friends ever let us become new people? If stories of friendship & regret, with added family tangles, are your thing, you can preorder #Greener from your local bookshop or online 🫶 Out 18/4/24 🍃

@amymariacoleman @ItsWalterEgo Thanks, Amy! Always happy to see this one get a mention. Love the whole thread too - it really is astonishing how nothing is still known about him.

@ItsWalterEgo The book Ghostlights by @GraMurphy gives a fictional retelling of this. So so good ✨

More than 500,000 people disappear without a trace every year. In 2009, something even stranger happened: a man appeared. No identity. No past. No record of where he came from. Peter Bergmann never existed. This is one of the greatest internet mystery of all time. 🧵👇

@farhanashaikh That’s so lovely to hear, thank you 💛

@GraMurphy Loved your story when I read it in the first round.

Delighted and grateful to be on the shortlist for the V.S. Pritchett Short Story Prize for Good Woman Yourself, a story about the humour and anger in trying to control an uncontrollable world 🤗 #RSL #VSPritchettShortStoryPrize #ALCSAwards

@franhill123 @womenwritersnet Thanks a mill, Fran! In addition to your Cuckoo in the Nest, I’ll add Barbara Kingsolver’s Flight Behaviour, Catherine Newman’s Sandwich, and Maggie O’Farrell’s Instructions for a Heatwave 💛

Christmas 2024 & New Year 2025 totally passed me by So far, January has been a combination of a hospital bed, cannulas, infusions, anti biotics I am home now. Desperately trying to eat / put weight on. Tired. Cold Here’s the #bookpost

@BexBookaholic @franhill123 Completely agree! Absolutely loved it too - higher stakes & deeper feelings, all with such heart and humour 💛

You know that thing where a sequel is as good if not better than the first book? Home Bird is just brilliant and I absolutely loved it - read my full review below! @franhill123 #BookTwitter #BookReview bookaholicbex.wordpress.com/2025/01/17/hom…
