Wine and Watery Yarns: Meet Two of Dulwich Books? Favourite New Authors of 2015


Recommended Posts

On Thursday 26th March Dulwich Books invite you to discover two of our favourite new voices of this year, Catherine Chanter and Sara Taylor.


Over the past few years we?ve been delighted to showcase some of the most exciting new writers hitting our shelves, including the likes of Jessie Burton (The Miniaturist), Eimear McBride (The Girl is a Half Formed Thing) , and Kevin Powers (The Yellow Birds) to name but a few. Now we?d like to introduce you to our hotly tipped new picks for literary stardom.


Sara Taylor is the author of ?The Shore,? Dulwich Books? owner Sheila hailed the book as one of her predictions for this year?s major awards longlists and described it as ?storytelling at its best? a rich and stunning novel with mesmerising and wonderful narrative threads.?


Catherine Chanter is the author of ?The Well,? when our bookseller Dave read it he described it as ?a spectacular debut novel which starts in a world reminiscent of Margaret Atwood?s ?A Handmaid?s Tale? then drags you into a tense psychological thriller.?


The evening will be hosted by Editorial Director at Canongate, Louisa Joyner.


This event takes place on Thursday 26th March at 7.30pm. Tickets are ?6 which includes a glass of wine and canap?s. Or for ?20 you can get both books and a glass of wine and canap?s; available from Dulwich Books in person, phone on 0208 670 1920, email [email protected] or online from http://dulwichbooks.eventbrite.co.uk/?s=32033232.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
