This week we’re delighted to welcome the author of one of our favourite novels of recent times Clare Chambers! Clare’s novel Small Pleasures was a Women’s Prize nominee and a book of the Year in The Times, Daily Telegraph, Evening Standard, Daily Express, Metro and many more and beloved over here at You’re Booked towers. We talked to her about Katherine Heiny, out of print revelations, slow reading and using Nina Stibbe as a friendship barometer.BOOKSDaisy Buchanan - InsatiableClare Chambers - Small PleasuresAmor Towles - Gentleman in MoscowAnn Patchett - Bel CantoTara Westover - EducatedJeannette Walls - Glass CastleGerald Durrell - My Family and Other AnimalsNina Stibbe - Love NinaLaura Ingalls Wilder - Little House on the PrairieJane Austen - Northanger AbbeyCharlotte Bronte - Jane EyreAlexander Dumas - Count of Monte ChristoThomas Hardy - Mayor of CasterbridgeThomas Hardy - Return of the NativeThomas Hardy - Tess of the d’UrbervillesThomas Hardy - Far From the Madding CrowdAlain-Fournier - Grand Meaulnes Jane Austen - PersuasionPaulette Jiles - News of the WorldTayari Jones - American MarriageTayari Jones - Silver SparrowCharles Palliser - Quincunx Katherine Heiny - Early Morning RiserKatherine Heiny - Standard DeviationWinifred Holtby - South RidingJosephine Tey - Franchise AffairJosephine Tey - Brat FarrarElizabeth Jane Howard - Mr WrongIngrid Persaud - Love After LoveZoe Pilger - Eat My Heart OutMichael Frayn - Towards the End of the MorningMarian Keyes - Sushi For BeginnersMarika Cobbold - On Hampstead HeathRC Sherriff - Fortnight in SeptemberRonan Hession - Leonard and Hungry PaulDorothy Baker - Cassandra at the WeddingAnna Hope - ExpectationClaire Lombardo - Most Fun We Ever HadMaria Semple - Where'd You Go BernadetteShirley Jackson - We Have Always Lived in the CastleShirley Jackson - Life Among the SavagesElizabeth Jane Howard - Cazalet ChroniclesAlan Wildsmith - Summer at 45 AcresDH Lawrence - Lady Chatterley’s LoverJilly Cooper - RidersJilly Cooper - RivalsJilly Cooper - ImogenJilly Cooper - HarrietJilly Cooper - PrudenceLouisa May Alcott - Little WomenCathleen Schine - Love LetterCathleen Schine - They Do Not Mean To But They DoCathleen Schine - Grammarians See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
