Congrats to Samantha Harvey. I’ve loved all her books. Do read Orbital AND also her previous novel The Western Wind as it’s a MASTERPIECE.

A fantastic interview with Jonathan Coe in The Times about his excellent new novel. We're really looking forward to welcoming Jonathan to West Kirby with @SavidgeReads next Friday! eventbrite.co.uk/e/an-evening-w…

As the Conservatives elect another leader, now seems like a good time to post my interview with Jonathan Coe, whose new novel is a hilarious cosy crime pastiche about the Tories drift to the right. Contains lettuce jokes too. thetimes.com/culture/books/…
