Jennifer

Ths book has been on my radar for ages now. So wish I could have been in Edinburgh to hear her talk. We moved south 5 years ago but I still intend, maybe next year, to come back for the book festival. Thanks for the review, it's on my wish list.

Cornflower

Do come, Jennifer! One of the remarkable things about the EIBF is that it draws its audience from all over, and some come very long distances to be at events. I've been chatting to people in queues and met a lady from Tasmania, another from South Africa, a man who'd come up from London especially, and so on.
Re. Tracy's book, I forgot to mention that it will be out in paperback at the end of this month. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did.

Adele Geras

Lovely! I have this in the T BR pile..Must read soon.

Cornflower

It's great, Adele!

Mystica Varathapalan

I'd love to read this one. Read all her books and delighted in them.

Cornflower

I haven't read all Tracy's books yet, but every one I have read has been enormously enjoyable, not least The Last Runaway.
