The Night Brother
The Night Brother | Rosie Garland
26 posts | 5 read | 27 to read
From the author of The Palace of Curiosities and Vixen comes a dazzling and provocative new novel of adventure, mystery and belonging. The Night Brother shifts tantalisingly between day and night, exploring questions of identity, sexual equality and how well we know ourselves. Perfect for fans of Angela Carter, Sarah Waters, Erin Morgenstern.

I read this one all in one go on a long flight last year - didn't know what to expect; ended up loving it.
Had some Night Circus vibes (though maybe that's because the opening scene is at a circus) - similar time period, similar sense of magic.

Another bail from me! Life is too short to force yourself to carry on reading a book you‘re really not getting along with.
I managed to get almost halfway through The Night Brother, and I felt like it was just repeating the same scenes over and over again. Argue with Mum, Grandma trying and failing to explain, argue with Gnome - repeat. In the end I wasn‘t interested enough in the childish character‘s outcomes to continue.

Getting back into the Libby swing of things with The Night Brother. This is set in Victorian Manchester and follows Edie and her brother Gnome who comes to visit at night. I am trying to read more different kinds of fiction rather than sticking to my usual ‘safe‘ types and I‘m hoping this will be a good way to start

After the haar left the weather foggy and damp yesterday it's another beautiful day in Edinburgh. It's strange to be reading about smoky, dirty, dark Victorian Manchester amongst all this grass and blue sky but so far it's an intriguing tale

Eeeeeee! I'm a little bit more excited about this because it's Rosie Garland from The March Violets(!!!) than an author following me. How did I not realise that it was this Rosie Garland that had written this book?? I need to get my hands on it and bump it up my tbr but I'm now trying to be good 😭

arlenefinnigan It's brilliant. Vixen and The Palace of Curiosities are too. 6y
laurieluna @arlenefinnigan both added to stack! Thanks! I had no idea she wrote as well. Been so out of the loop since the boys were born 😂 x 6y
arlenefinnigan Also her poetry's brilliant 6y
laurieluna @arlenefinnigan thanks! I need to read more poetry, trying to read more genres and styles! 6y

This is brilliant. As with Rosie Garland's previous novels I spent a lot of the first 50 or so pages thinking "wait......what?!", but that's the fun of it. Beautifully evocatively written, the setting of early 20th century Manchester provides a fascinating backdrop to the intriguing personal story of Edie and Gnome.

An unexpectedly emotional book launch. "This is my love letter to Manchester. It went to press weeks ago." ?
