Before Nick Carraway moved to West Egg and into Ga Before Nick Carraway moved to West Egg and into Gatsby’s world, he was at the centre of a very different story - one taking place along the trenches and deep within the tunnels of World War I. Floundering in the wake of the destruction he witnessed first-hand, Nick delays his return home, hoping to escape the questions he cannot answer about the horrors of war. Instead, he embarks on a transcontinental redemptive journey that takes him from a whirlwind Paris romance - doomed from the very beginning - to the dizzying frenzy of New Orleans, rife with its own flavour of debauchery and violence. 📖 Critically acclaimed novelist Michael Farris Smith pulls Nick Carraway out of the shadows and into the spotlight in this exhilarating imagining of his life before The Great Gatsby. 📖 An epic portrait of a truly singular era and a sweeping, romantic story of self-discovery, this rich and imaginative novel breathes new life into a character that many know only from the periphery. Charged with enough alcohol, heartbreak, and profound yearning to transfix even the heartiest of golden age scribes, NiCK reveals the man behind the narrator who has captivated readers for decades. 📖 NICK celebrates its publication day today and can be ordered through our Bookshop.org page, which you can find through the link in our bio.

Two stunning, intensely powerful modern classics a Two stunning, intensely powerful modern classics about race in twentieth-century America from the legendary Pulitzer Prize-winning and Tony Award-winning playwright August Wilson. 📖 In Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, the great blues diva Ma Rainey is due to arrive at a run-down Chicago recording studio with her entourage to cut new sides of old favourites. Waiting for her are the black musicians in her band - and the white owners of the record company. A tense, searing account of racism in jazz-era America that the New Yorker called a “genius work of art”. 📖 Fences centres on Troy Maxson, a garbage collector, an embittered former baseball player and a proud, domianting father, in 1950s Pittsburgh. When college athletic recruiters scout his teenage son, Troy struggles against his young son’s ambition, his wife, who he understands less and less, and his own frustrated dreams.
In her youth, Tara was wild. She abandoned her arr In her youth, Tara was wild. She abandoned her arranged marriage to join an ashram, took a hapless artist for a lover, rebelled against every social expectation of a good Indian woman - all with her young child in tow. Years on, she is an old woman with a fading memory, mixing up her maid’s wages and leaving the gas on all night, and her grownup daughter is faced with the task of caring for a mother who never seemed to care for her. 📖 This is a poisoned love story. But not between lovers - between mother and daughter. Sharp as a blade and laced with caustic wit, Burnt Sugar gradually untangles the knot of memory and myth that bind two women together, revealing the truth that lies beneath.

And behind us, the house. 🏠 It should have been perfect. But just before Father pressed the camera button, my sister Evie turned to speak to me. 🏠 I don’t remember what she said, but I’m quite sure we paid for it, later. 🏠 I’m the one who escaped.

Book post.😃 This arrived today from @wnbooks an Book post.😃 This arrived today from @wnbooks and I am really looking forward to reading it. Sorrow and Bliss by Meg Mason will be published in June.

Shame and longing can flow through generations, bu Shame and longing can flow through generations, but the secrets of the heart will not be buried forever. 🇮🇪 It is 1987 and a small Irish community is preparing for a wedding. The day before the ceremony, a group of young friends, including the bride and groom, drive out to the beach. There is an accident. Three survive, but three are killed. 🇮🇪 The lives of the families are shattered and the rifts between them are felt throughout the small town. Connor is one of the survivors. But staying among the angry and the mourning is almost as hard as living with the shame of having been the driver. He leaves the only place he knows for another life, taking his secrets with him. Travelling first to Liverpool, then London, he makes a home - of sorts - for himself in New York. The city provides shelter and possibility for the displaced, somewhere Connor can forget his past and forge a new life. 🇮🇪 But the secrets, the unspoken longings and regrets that have come to haunt those left behind will not be silenced. And before long, Connor will have to confront his past. 🇮🇪 Graham Norton’s powerful novel of emigration and return demonstrates his keen understanding of the power of stigma and secrecy - with devastating results.
