Virago Modern Classics (@ViragoBooks) has signed The Fate of Mary Rose, a “skin-crawling” novel about maternal obsession, in a three-book deal from the late Caroline Blackwood 👇 thebookseller.com/rights/virago-…
I am INCREDIBLY excited to be bringing Caroline Blackwood to the Virago Modern Classics list - a wickedly sharp & blackly funny dissector of female rage, and everyday evil. Proofs of #TheFateofMaryRose landing soon. . . 🍏 @ViragoBooks thebookseller.com/rights/virago-…
I toured with Dr Angelou during her last visit to the UK in 2005. I'll never forget the thousands of people hanging on every word, especially 'Phenomenal Woman', or indeed, singing in the car - always singing! Here's to phenomenal women everywhere!

‘There is no moral compass in a Highsmith #novel; there isn’t even a moral windsock. The reader is tossed into the Highsmith universe, where neither #good nor #evil necessarily triumph . . .’ Gustav Temple @TheChapMag on #PatriciaHighsmith This Sweet Sickness in SF 73.
“Love life. Engage in it. Give it all you’ve got. Love it with a passion because life truly does give back, many times over, what you put into it.” – Maya Angelou, born #OnThisDay in 1928.
So proud to publish these new #VMC editions of Maya Angelou's extraordinary 7 volumes of autobiography, on what would have been her 96th birthday. Lyrical, unflinching, full of love for the world as well as clear-eyed to its cruelty - she is the definition of a modern classic
“But the true nature of the human heart is as whimsical as spring weather. All signals may aim toward a fall of rain when suddenly the skies will clear.” – from The Collected Autobiographies of Maya Angelou.
A true pleasure to have been asked to write the introduction for Mary Renault's classic novel, The Persian Boy. It's an absolute beauty

Calling all bad heroines☎️ As Viragoes, we know a little something about going against the mold and defying conventions, so we have selected some of our favourite bad heroines for you to read. Explore the full list here: brnw.ch/21wI9mQ
For this month's newsletter, I recommended Hilary Leichter's TERRACE STORY, Gary Indiana's DO EVERYTHING IN THE DARK, and Elizabeth Mavor's A GREEN EQUINOX. Shifting spaces, aging bohemians, surprising affairs of the heart—what a month!
Hurrah for @LittleBrownUK, and to this shout-out to the @ViragoBooks 50th anniversary!
