I’m so excited to announce the acquisition of Small Hours, my second novel, which will be published in spring 2024 by Headline, the publishers behind Isaac and the Egg.
Described by Headline as “vividly imaginative and intensely moving”, Small Hours follows Jack, a young man working in the city and estranged from his father, and what happens when he returns home to the country for the first time in years when his mother leaves with no word of explanation.
Told through three distinctive voices, it’s the story of a family in crisis and the ghosts of the past who still haunt them, of life-changing conversations in the early hours of the morning, and of a great love between two people whose time left together is running short.
Working on my first book with the whole team at Headline was an absolute joy, so I couldn’t be happier to be doing it all again.
Small Hours is a book that has had me in its grasp for two years now, and one which I hope will take readers in some unexpected directions – with just enough of an offbeat feel to keep Isaac and the Egg fans happy.
You can find out more about it here, if you’re that way inclined. I’ve loved writing it, and I can’t wait to share more about it.
