Pickpick

A unexpected gem of a book, which I read with a big daft grin on my face. I absolutely loved it!

Tilly is a statistician. To understand the collapse of her marriage, she writes a report. With footnotes.

Violet is in her mid-20s, alone & effectively housebound. She starts exploring the world via a borrowed typewriter. She will become Tilly's grandmother.

Around these two unconventional, inconvenient women grow a chaotic family of characters - 👇

rockpools quirky, believable (mostly!), warm and beautiful. And an oddball collection of inanimate but characterful objects. Also 🐶.

Thank you #netgalley for the chance to read this in exchange for an honest review. #TheMapOfUs is one of my surprise favourites of the year, and is out on Saturday

KateFulfordAuthor If you like this style.... If you need another recommendation, may I point you to my People‘s Book Prize nominated debut? Sassy female narrative, laugh out dialogue and a pacy plot. Check the link in the bio for 2 free chapters, reviews and more. 6y
