Flashback to an afternoon last winter researching #dressingthedearloves @montacute_nt while back in #somerset. Apart from family and friends, it really is one of the things I miss the most about #england - all those trips to National Trust properties on our weekends, whiling away the afternoon wandering about, and wondering about the stories hidden in the stones. This was a goodie, with a National Portrait Gallery outpost upstairs featuring a number of Holbein-era Tudor paintings. Such fun #research #novelwriting

Went to see this last night and it’s one that stays with you. Go see it at the cinema if you can, the small screen will not do it justice. Set in a seventies Australian coastal town, this adaptation of Tim Winton’s novel Breath is the perfect coming-of-age story. Pikelet is 14 when he and his best mate Loony discover surfing. They meet Sando, an ageing hippie surfer (played to perfection by Simon Baker, who also impressively directed) and his damaged wife, Eva at the cusp of everything changing. Love, love, loved it. Five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #breathfilm #timwinton #simonbaker
Oh my goodness, JD Barrett, you’ve done it again! The launch of #theupsideofover - so thrilled to see the release of my friend and fellow #womenoftheword member’s THIRD novel in as many years. If you haven’t read #thesecretrecipeforsecondchances or #thesongofus you’re in for a treat: fun, sassy, sexy, totally unputdownable, these are clever books with heart. Congratulations Miss Josephine @jdbarrettauthor #jdbarrett @hachetteaus
First winter day proper here in Crows Nest, and it is quite delicious. Feeling: Teutonic
Excited to finally share with you the cover and blurb for my new novel, out September with @harpercollinsaustralia (bisous HarperCollins for a beautiful cover, and bisous to #belindaalexandra for her lovely quote). Here’s the blurb: ‘Failed fashion designer Sylvie Dearlove is coming home to England – broke, ashamed and in disgrace – only to be told her parents are finally selling their once-grand, now crumbling country house, Bledesford, the ancestral home of the Dearlove family for countless generations. Sylvie has spent her whole life trying to escape being a Dearlove, and the pressure of belonging to a family of such headstrong, charismatic and successful women. Beset by self-doubt, she starts helping her parents prepare Bledesford for sale, when she finds in a forgotten attic a thrilling cache of old steamer trunks and tea chests full of elaborate dresses and accessories acquired from across the globe by five generations of fashionable Dearlove women. Sifting through the past, she also stumbles across a secret which has been hidden – in plain sight – for decades, a secret that will change the way she thinks about herself, her family, and her future. Romantic, warm, and glamorous, moving from Edwardian England to the London Blitz to present day London, Dressing the Dearloves is a story about the corrosiveness of family secrets, the insecurities that can sabotage our best efforts, and the seductive power of dressing up.’ #novel #writing #thewritinglife #author #authorsofinstagram #book #dressingthedearloves
