Happy publication, Harriet Baker! Going back to Shropshire this eve & taking RURAL HOURS with me - it sounds so beautiful. The subject (those three authors!), the cover (makes me think of Rembrandt's wife), the three blurbs, it's all catnip to me. Thank you, penguinpress!

Extremely grateful for the considered review in The Spectator, in which Lara Feigel meditates on Woolf's Asheham diary, Lehmann's wartime stories, and calls RURAL HOURS 'elegant and eloquent' spectator.co.uk/article/how-co…
An absolute pleasure to sit alongside Alexandra Harris and Julien Clin for BBC Radio 3's Free Thinking, and talk about place, belonging, obscure patches of rural England, and, yes, goats bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0h…
Goats. It's not ALL about goats, but they do provide an unexpected link between writers Sylvia Townsend Warner and Rosamond Lehman. Virginia Woolf's shopping lists are significant too. Shahidha Bari 📻 🎙️📚🖌 Alexandra Harris Harriet Baker on BBC Radio 3 at 10.00pm bbc.in/3PDr4oz
And in Sunday Times Culture, RURAL HOURS 'conjures the sights and sounds of mid-20th-century rural England with vivid lyricism' thetimes.co.uk/article/rural-…
A beautiful and thoughtful review of RURAL HOURS in FT Weekend, in which the book is described as a biography 'more intimate than most', and 'an outstanding piece of literary scholarship' ft.com/content/b183fe…
