When you've waited ten years for a new novel from one of the world's literary luminaries, you want to know as much as you can from the author.

2025 is a big year for Kate Mosse . Celebrating the 20th anniversary of her bestselling novel, Labyrinth, and the 30th winner of the prize she helped found, The Women’s Prize, we had lots to talk about.

Bestselling author Jojo Moyes knows how to create characters and relationships which engage her readers and We All Live Here is no exception. A blended family is tested to its limits when estranged members suddenly appear to upset a fragile balance but might happiness appear on the other side of the drama? We spoke with her about characters who appear fully realised, why acceptance might be the secret to happiness and why finding success later in her career might have been the best way for the cards to fall.…

Four university friends now in their thirties are all experiencing their own takes on motherhood in the new novel from Holly Bourne , and a baby shower for one of them becomes the scene of a unique whodunnit.

After the success of her first book, Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before? Dr Julie Smith wanted to create a new book, something to turn to when you find yourself in the eye of the storm.

On Boxing Day 2022, whilst in Rome, Hanif Kureishi fell after feeling faint. When he awoke, he realised he couldn't move his limbs, and life changed profoundly for him and those around him. What hadn't changed was his desire to write, and Shattered brings together the blogs that he began just a few days after that accident. We joined him at home to speak about that desire to write, the impact of becoming disabled, and what this change has taught him about human nature.…
After the completion of her seasonal quartet, readers will have been wondering where Ali Smith might take us next and it shouldn't be a surprise that a writer who had so successfully captured our present moment should seek to extend her gaze just a little further into an all too imaginable near future. Gliff forms the first part of a two book sequence, followed next year by its sister novel, Glyph. We sat down with her to discuss the process of storytelling, the nature of dystopia, and why she still has hope for our future.…

With a narrative that stretches over seven decades, the new novel from Alan Hollinghurst doesn’t just give us the intimate details of a man’s life, but allows us to see the shifting tectonics of Britain’s social and political landscape from the 1960s to the present day.
