We have an event on Monday night, the London launch of Catherine O'Flynn's debut novel What Was Lost.
There's been plenty of review coverage already, all glowing, and the publisher Tindal Street Press have a good track record. (Remember Astonishing Splashes of Colour by Clare Morrall - Booker shortlisted a few years back? That was Tindal Street)
I started reading the book yesterday afternoon and I can't bloody put the thing down.
How many times do you read about "astonishing debuts"? Yeah, you don't have to tell me I know. Jaded is my middle name when it comes to publisher blurbs. But...
THIS IS AN ASTONISHING DEBUT.
It's brilliant.
If I were you I'd get down to Crockatt & Powell for 7pm on Monday. Not only will you get to hear Catherine read you can also get her to sign a copy for your collection (after she wins a few prizes these babies will be like gold dust) you can also buy one for yourself and if you have any friends buy copies for them too - it's one of those books.
An exciting book.
An astonishing debut...
