In a recent post about my book tour of New York for the publication of my second novel, Swimming Lessons, I mentioned a ‘secret writing thingy’, and said that all would be revealed in March. And now I’m allowed to reveal what it was… Continue reading →

A wonderful evening @kempsmalton talking about Hunger and Thirst. So lovely to meet Liz, the shop owner, Jo for her brilliant questions (sorry for giving you the heebie jeebies), and a fantastic audience including these four who kept us all laughing. Some of my favourite things: buying books, reading books, visiting book shops, meeting booksellers, signing books. Thank you Edinburgh bookshops, you were wonderful. @portybooks @rarebirdsbooks @waterstones_edi @blackwelledin Thanks for a great Hunger and Thirst event @toppingsedin! Signed 70 copies of the book and some backlist. Wonderful questions from bookseller, Rachel and the audience, and I got to meet @krystelle_bamford, author of Idle Grounds, a favourite novel of mine. (Forgot to take a picture together.) Thanks for having me @waterstonesromsey. What a fantastic audience, including @the.literary.traveller. Great questions from the lovely Julia. And we all laughed a lot, despite talking about scary things! This has a long slow build to the action. I was happy to find out about Frances and her mother and their paying guests, Lillian and Leonard. It’s 1922 and after the death of her brothers and father, and the discovering that he had invested poorly, Frances and her mother have no choice but to take in two married lodgers of the ‘clerk class’. All is well for a while until slowly, so slowly (which I enjoyed), Frances and Lillian begin an affair. It’s never going to end well, no matter how big their Camberwell house, and yes, maybe I could see what was coming, but I still enjoyed it and was gripped from about half way through. Not as good as The Little Stranger, but very good. In 2014 @hannahrichell’ s husband Matt died in a surfing accident in Sydney. An Ocean and a Day is the story of how they met and fell in love, their move to Australia, the two children they had together, the shock of the day Matt died, how she got through the immediate aftermath and how she’s healed in the subsequent ten years. It’s about keeping going. Book tour for Hunger and Thirst is underway! It was great to visit so many gorgeous book shops for events and for signing stock this week. And wonderful to meet loads of readers and other writers, and get even get @gentle_human stamping flies in the books I signed. The final picture shows where I’ll be next (including one online event next week). If you’d like more info, comment with the location you’re interested in and I’ll DM you with the link. Hunger and Thirst will be published in Canada by @doubledayca on June 2, 2026. And just look at this cover! Thank you to the wonderful authors and outlets who have already commented on the book. An amazing sold-out launch for Hunger and Thirst last night. So many people coming to celebrate with me, eat cake and raise a glass. It was wonderful to hear some lovely words from my editor @helengw100 read by my amazing publicist @jane54321. Huge thanks to @winchester_books_festival for organising and to @margotgoodlife for being the best interviewer and a brilliant friend. Also big thanks to @amandaoosty, @sar1skatiger, @emmalathamwriter,, @kate.raines, @judith_heneghan for assisting with the competition and cake! Thanks to @ina_love_to_bake_and_make for the most delicious cake! Thanks to @pgwellsbookshop for handling sales so smoothly and efficiently. And finally to #librarianhusband for always be there and being so supportive and still enthusiastic for book six.
