An actual quote from the Secretary of State for Business and Trade

Too often people go to university to ‘explore research and knowledge’

Look forward to Wes S saying 'too often people go to hospital to have operations' or Heidi Alexander saying 'too often people go to the station to catch a train'

WAHEY!!! It's Buddo, the Neolithic whalebone figurine from Orkney!!

Buddo says you're nearly home & dry.

why does Buddo bring me so much comfort??

I actually keep meaning to check out the rest of her work (as a reader AND as a greedy publisher)

regrettably, it doesn't!!

Marina Kemp: 'I thought The Old Fire was extraordinary. Shua Dusapin combines acuity and depth, with straight-shooting sentences that belie their profound emotional complexity. This is a subtle, propulsive, immensely powerful novel.' Thank you, Marina!! The Old Fire is out in January

Anuradha Roy's CALLED BY THE HILLS: A HOME IN THE HIMALAYA is out in January. Sophy Roberts is also a fan, writing: 'Elegant, witty, literary and humane. This is a portrait of a place that will touch your soul.’

The finest response I've seen so far.

Book cover of All Our Yesterdays (Tutti I Nostri Ieri orogonally published in 1952) by Natalia Ginzburg, Italy translated by Angus Davidson, published in UK by Daunt Books (2022) with an introduction by author Sally Rooney. The cover features a black and white photo Jinx and Justin at Cafe, Florence, Italy 1951 and a quote from the New York Times that reads "Ginzburg's books snare so much of what is odd and lovely and fleeting in the world."

After loving 3 of her novellas, I started this 408 pg #NataliaGinzburg novel All Our Yesterdays, spanning the war years in northern Italy.

Utterly captivating, it follows 2 families that live opposite each other. I never wanted it to end.

A brilliant original work of observation and community.

The Little Virtues by Natalia Ginzburg (tr. Dick Davis) I have written before about my love of Natalia Ginzburg’s fiction – most recently, All Our Yesterdays, a rich, multilayered novel of family life spanning the duration of WW2. The Little Virtues is …

★★★★ #NataliaGinzburg THE CITY AND THE HOUSE - In our era of emails and social media, is the epistolary novel a dying art? Hugh Barnes on Ginzburg's 1984 work, rendered in polyphonic English by Dick Davis, as conjuring trick - republished @dauntbookspub.bsky.social theartsdesk.com/books/natali...
