Buy the Book

There are over 300 WATERSTONES in the UK and every store will place the paperback either in the window and/or prominently on the shop floor. Since publishing the hardback with the wonderful LITTLE TOLLER back in October 2022, I have learnt so much about how the world of publishing works. It’s exciting to imagine our book placed on a table or on a specific display. I can’t wait to see how each bookstore chooses to arrange the book.

So, that is why CANONGATE brought the publication of the paperback forward by several weeks; to make sure the book was on the shelves by 1st March. It has been a very exciting few weeks for us as we have been planning all sorts of events to celebrate the official launch of the paperback and the BOOK OF THE MONTH selection.

We hope that if you are in the UK, you might be able to join us for one of these very special events
