Really thrilled with this long and beautifully considered review of A Body Made of Glass by Laura Miller!
At Topping & Company Booksellers of Edinburgh last night I also picked up a copy of Caroline Crampton’s new book. For both personal and professional reasons, I’m really looking forward to this one!
