In preparation for the Auckland Writers Festival, Jenna talked about Lily King’s Heart the Lover & Writers and Lovers. These connected books are for writers, readers and romantics. Capturing the magic of early love in a pre-technoloical dating era - they are nostalgic, uplifting (whilst being sad) and deceptively simple.

You can book tickets to Lily’s session at AWF here:

Longlisted for the Women’s Prize for Fiction, Paradiso 17 is Nate’s picks of the bunch.

The book follows the entirety of Sufien’s deeply melancholic life as he looks for home after being displaced from his home in Palestine in 1948.

A lyrical read, where every line is beautiful and a strong sense of place is evoked. The book is based on the life of the author’s father.

Listen to his chat with Milly & Rosetta below. The Women’s Prize for Fiction’s shortlist is out this week!
