A few weeks ago, we interviewed the wonderful @manuscriptgal.bsky.social on her newest novel, The Lady, the Tiger and the Girl Who Loved Death.
If you do nothing else, buy the book. But also: listen to the interview! It's delightful.

Had a great chat with The Nerd Daily about The Lady, The Tiger & The Girl Who Loved Death - from my family's history to Putin's theatrical politics to how it took 20 drafts to untangle that narrative puzzle box of frame stories & multiple timelines! thenerddaily.com/helen-marsha...

The Sydney Morning Herald calls The Lady, The Tiger and the Girl Who Loved death 'grand in ambition,' and 'a song of brutality and mystery' while noting it's 'tough going'. I'll take that as high praise for pushing boundaries.

Ian Mond reviews THE LADY, THE TIGER, AND THE GIRL WHO LOVED DEATH in the July Locus! "One of the best fantasists working in the field… Fiercely imaginative and tricksy… underscores the power of stories to manipulate and control"
Grateful when a story finds its ideal reader! @titanbooks.bsky.social

It strikes me how many brilliant writers and readers in the literary scene are young parents, yet so few spaces accommodate families. The struggle to stay connected to literary community while raising kids is real.

Had the loveliest book event at Caper Bookshop last night! Such a rare treat to find a bookshop that truly embraces families: kids playing while adults dive deep into literary conversation. Thanks all for coming and for proving bookshops can be magical spaces for all ages!

A hand holds a copy of the paperback book in a bookshop. The cover is bright and blocky in a circus kind if way, featuring a tiger, a figure whose red hair blends with flames in the background, and a black-haired woman, all in front of a colourful geometric and circus tent like set of patterns in the background.
Haunting, brutal, and beautifully written, new read The Lady, the Tiger and the Girl Who Loved Death by @manuscriptgal.bsky.social combines the spectacle of circus & the power of stories with deeper currents of tyranny, war, love & revenge, all wrapped in an eastern-European magical fable.

Thrilled that THE LADY, THE TIGER AND THE GIRL WHO LOVED DEATH is featured on ABC's The Bookshelf alongside Becky Manawatu's Kataraina. Magic realism and powerful storytelling - what more could you want?
