Missing May Day Missives?

It’s the first of May, which is the day when I remind everyone to read/reread The Arrival of Missives! Here’s a picture of the UK/US and Italian versions in the sunshine, surrounded by daisies, looking brief and sweet and healthy.

A bit of a twist this year: the UK version is no longer available, due to the sad closure of Unsung Stories, but hurray for my wonderful new home Solaris. The Arrival of Missives will make up the second half of the tenth anniversary special edition of The Beauty, with an introduction by MR Carey, and that will be published in the summer.

I’m really glad that both books will be back out in the UK shortly, with The Loosening Skin and Greensmith to follow. But, for now, if you do have time for a spring sunshine novella about a precocious teenager, her wounded teacher, and the way fates wind together like maypole ribbons, then please do revisit The Arrival of Missives. Have a great start to May. Thanks.
