This? #DonalRyan at his towering best. A novel of a small town told through its people, each character folding a story into the next. An embattled landscape played out in snapshots, and still - through the impending darkness - bringing small moments of levity and joy. Out August

It was an honour and a pleasure to meet the wonderful @LizzaAiken to chat about Joan Aiken, surrounded by her mother’s books, art and typewriter! I can’t wait to republish Joan Aiken’s London novellas later this year, introduced by the stellar writer @Kiran_MH 🤍

⭐️25 years of research - I had never seen the 1768 Gainsborough portrait of Sancho 'in the flesh'. Never thought art could hit me like this. Thanks, Thomas Gainsborough for this gift. Thanks ⁦@royalacademy⁩ #EntangledPasts 1768-Now is on ... Now.⭐️ #royalacademyofarts

It’s all very well publishing a book inspired by #Cornwall, but when a reader takes said book out on day trip to the Cornish beach close to where it was set, well, the publisher does a little dance of joy around the kitchen. Thank you @kgmorrell 💙

@manderleypress It was pure joy reading this beautiful book in it’s setting!
