Not-now-novels

Curated by

Kate Brown

Seeing as this year has been defined the uncertainty of the future, I’ve been finding comfort in hunting down books of the past that have flown under the radar. After being lent a stack of Anita Brookner’s books during lockdown by a generous friend, she has fast become one of my all time favourite authors, and luckily for us, she has written twenty-four novels!

Do you have any backlisted favourites you’d like to see on this list?
