I loved Winter Song by @rebecaleemorales, for its attention to detail, for its characterisation, for its setting and story. And also for Rebecca Lee Morales’ writing. It’s a literary mystery - a lovely slow build to some brilliant surprises. Very likely to be on my reads of the year. Throw Back Thursday to 2021 when my novel, Unsettled Ground was longlisted (and then shortlisted) for @womensprize. This is what I wrote in my diary: One Yellow Eye by @leighauthor is a crazy, funny, sad, madcap zombie romp. There has been a zombie outbreak in London and about 2000 people died, or became the undead, including Kesta’s husband Tim. But what no one else knows is that Kesta is keeping Tim chained to the radiator in their spare room while Kesta gets a job at a secret government lab that’s searching for a cure. Just go with the ridiculous science and the lack of security security, and I’ll guarantee you great fun. Some final events for 2026: Doesn’t everyone love coming-of-age stories? A period we’ve all been through, one of great change and many firsts. First kiss, first love, first time we realise that everyone is fallible including ourselves. Here are nine coming-of-age novels that I’ve loved. Visit my website to find out what each of them are about and why I loved them: clairefuller.co.uk A fantastic event @turner_sims last night talking about music and writing, and Hunger and Thirst. It’s the most beautiful venue. We were treated to @henryaylingguitarist playing the piano music that he wrote for the audio book (the video is him practicing on the concert hall’s Steinway before the event), as well as two guitar & voice pieces. Thanks to the brilliant @writercaroleburns for the questions and to everyone who came. (And thanks @ali_shaw1 for the pictures.) This autumn the Hunger and Thirst book tour continues: The Colour of Milk by Nell Leyshon is narrated by Mary who has the most original voice. voice. She’s 14, it’s rural England in 1831 and she has only just learned to read and write. She’s a milkmaid until her father sends her to the vicarage to help the vicar’s wife who is ill. Mary is fierce, she says her mind, and she is writing an account of what happened to her. There were no surprises for me, but I did really enjoy this. Short, bleak, sad. It’s not Lonesome Dove, it’s different, but it’s as good. Filled with longing and loneliness but never sentimental, The Last Picture Show by Larry McMurtry has gone straight onto my books of the year.
