Huge thanks to @BronteParsonage for having me at the fantastic Brontë Festival of Women’s Writing. So brilliant to chat to @kirranshah about Fault Lines.
And then we saw the sofa where Emily Brontë died. It was alot for one weekend.

The number of single people in Japan who plan to get married and have children is decreasing year on year. We hear why from Dr Jennifer Coates, senior lecturer in Japanese Studies @sheffielduni and from the author @Emilyitami

We love books set in Japan and this one doesn’t disappoint, Fault Lines is like brief encounters set in Tokyo. Bittersweet, quirky, atmospheric and hilarious. A writer of modern relationships, @EmilyItami is one to watch. @orionbooks

Book club read #FaultLines. @EmilyItami creates sthg startlingly fresh from the story of a thwarted housewife mother, her affair. An arresting and skilful writer, her debut is funny, messy bristling with bracing honesty - yet nuanced, subtle poignant, with rounded characters.

So happy to see two books on this list that I've reviewed and that, IMO, haven't had as much hype as they deserve yet: FAULT LINES By @EmilyItami and LESSONS IN LOVE AND OTHER CRIMES by @DrNChakrabarty

Such a pleasure to chat to the lovely (and awesome - how is she doing this many things at once?!) @KateSawyer for the first episode of her podcast, #NovelExperiencePodcast. Unlike Kate, I consider ‘erm’ a vital part of my speaking vocabulary 🥴
