An advance copy of a very special book – The Home Child by Liz Berry! and what a treat it was to read, does poetry get any better than this? Thank you #Chatto and #PenguinBooks Out next year, one of my favourite books of all time

What an extraordinary last paragraph to a remarkable book - George Simenon's 'The Krull House'. It feels like it should be the opening to the novel, but it isn't. At the end of this claustrophobic story, nothing is resolved, and yet everything is clear. An astonishing achievement.

I'm currently reading my way through his 75 (!) Maigret books :ablobwavereverse:
