![]() In the best possible way, this is a hugely stressful read, as we watch both women slowly come to realise the truth about their situations, urging them on from the sidelines. There are shades of Before I Go to Sleep, SJ Watson’s debut novel about a woman with amnesia, in Hannah Beckerman’s The Forgetting (Lake Union), but that’s no bad thing: Beckerman gives the amnesia trope her own twist to create a compelling, claustrophobic story. “It is as though there is an impenetrable black box in my head, like the flight recorder of a crashed plane, but it is locked and tightly sealed and there is no way for me to access it.” Meanwhile, in Bristol, Livvy Nicholson has a six-month-old son, a loving new husband, Dominic, and a yearning to get back to work that is being inadvertently thwarted by Dominic’s plans for his own career. Her husband, Stephen, feels like a total stranger to her the details of her life are a mystery. A nna Bradshaw remembers nothing when she wakes in a London hospital after an accident. ![]() ![]() But the longer she and Cole stay hidden, the more her life is at risk.

You read the story and you feel more and more uncomfortable as you try to figure out what is happening. Skipping even a single word would make you miss out on too much of the story, so you don’t. And his minimalistic writing style makes the reader hang on every single word because there is meaning and purpose behind each of them. Song for the Unraveling of the World picks up right where Evenson left off in his last collection. When I found out he had a new collection coming out this year, I pre-ordered it and couldn’t wait to dive into it. They were good, but with the exception of Last Days, nothing was as good to me as his short stories. ![]() I was hooked and grabbed a few more of his novels. About a year later I saw Last Days at a bookstore and I remembered how much I liked that first collection so I got it and read it in about two days. ![]() I really enjoyed the stories in the collection but never moved on to read any of his other work.

But she retains an uncanny ability to sound like your best friend, whoever you are, even when she is describing the death of her own best friend in a sobering piece called “Considering the Alternative.” When, in the end, she has no better way to ward off mortality than staying silky smooth by using the right bath oil, a certain guilty, pampered segment of the reading public will know exactly what she means.

I have not laughed out loud so many times at a book in quite awhile which was a relief after the emotional roller coaster that was ACOWAR. So that spark was there the entire time, even while the fighting commenced. It was an interesting take on the hating to loving trope because they had met BEFORE the chaos started and really hit it off. I definitely enjoyed this one in particular as it had some angst in the form both MCs, Carter and Evie (dubbed Evil), fighting for the same position at their merged company. ago Yes Agreed Especially with the two the asker mentioned. ago The simple wild series by k a tucker is really good Its sort of enemies to lovers, grumpy sunshine hero and funny. They will never cease to make you laugh, cry, and blush profusely. Its good lots of Hating Game vibes, lots of sexual tension and banter.

I got the impression that he was addressing a well read audience in Bath, perfect for the discussion that ensued. Christopher commented that although their names may still be recalled, few of the readers he has asked could list these authors’ books. He read out the names of a number of the authors included, many of which the audience were familiar with. Steve described The Book of Forgotten Authors as a cornucopia of author delights including excellent digressive essays. He writes a weekly column in The Independent on Sunday where the idea for this most recent publication germinated. As well as books, his other works include screenplays, video games, graphic novels, audio and stage plays. ![]() Although I am only familiar with this and a handful of the author’s more recent Bryant and May series of crime novels, Christopher has published over forty books that cross several genres. The event was the final stop on a tour for The Book of Forgotten Authors which I review here. ![]() This year I spent Halloween at Waterstones bookshop in Bath where Christopher Fowler was in conversation with Steve Andrews, a Senior Bookseller at the store and obvious fan of his amiable guest. ![]() |
