Head over to the LRB bookshop blog for wonderful insight into our #BookoftheYear #writersprize2024, 'The Home Child' by @MissLizBerry - an unforgettable novel in verse
‘I had to imagine an interior life for Eliza, which meant letting my research go a little, and bringing to the poems all I know of love and longing and that beautiful feistiness and vulnerability of being a twelve-year-old girl.’
