The G is guilty of speculation. Surely it would be a better idea to ask the question "is this the book of the year" at the end of 2021? Sounds like a press release story, which is not to denigrate the effort needed to achieve this or the novel itself.

The Guardian guilty of speculation? Surely not. Next you?ll be saying The Mail is a right wing newspaper.

All down hill from when it was the "Manchester Guardian". Now just a rest home for left wing luvvies and the woke fraternity.

Wow, must be a record for going off-topic so quickly.

Please stay on-topic.

[apbremer]

ok. Sorry.

Very interesting, thanks for posting.

I'd find that library a bit distracting and don't remember the seating being that great. But then again, I haven't written a best-seller (yet!).

In an interview elsewhere she says:

"I spent the months in Dulwich Library. It was one of the hottest summers on record. I stuck to the plastic seats, and ate lunch in the garden shade, swatting at wasps. In the afternoons, school students filed in, flirted across the tables, pretended to work."
