Penelope Mortimer’s The Home: now available!

Last year, one of my favourite reads was Penelope Mortimer’s darkly funny 1970s novel The Home. Such is the surprising speed of things, sometimes at least, that less than a year later it is available as a British Library Women’s Writers title!

The Home a book by Penelope Mortimer.

It’s out now in the UK (and you can ship abroad for free from Blackwells, FYI, though pretend I said something more impartial) – one of my favourite cover designs of the series, and anybody who liked The Pumpkin Eater will love The Home too.

If you’d like to know my thoughts from last year, check out my review.

    Thanks for the heads up; I love the British Library Women Writers’ series and have been looking forward to this one since your reviews of 2022. The cover is gorgeous too!

    I’m really looking forward to reading this, I will read it alongside quite a big review book on Shakespeare’s First Folios!
