Featuring new book reviews for Sonia Shah's The Next Great Migration, Andres Neuman's Fracture and Viv Groskop's Au Revoir, Tristesse

The Week in Review 22nd June 2020

Book reviews for Shah's The Next Great Migration dub the book as "life-affirming" and "fundamental"

Good morning Karen,

Sonia Shah's The Next Great Migration moved into the spotlight this weekend. In the Scotsman, Joyce McMillan had high praise for Shah's arguments on human migration: "a hugely entertaining, life-affirming and hopeful hymn to the glorious adaptability of life on earth." In the Observer, Tim Adams dubbed the study "fascinating" as it "debunks false narratives about immigration and finds that, in common with other species, the urge to move is written in our genes." In the New York Times, Richard O Prum raved about the importance of Shah's work which "addresses issues of fundamental importance to the survival and well-being of us all."

Andres Neuman's Fracture broke onto the scene this weekend, with reviewers dubbing it as "ambitious", "astonishingly relevant" and "strangely tender". In the Sunday Times, David Mills said: "This is an ambitious, serious novel" which is often "golden". In the Observer, Lucy Popescu felt themes were resontant of today's coronavirus pandemic: "Perceptively translated by Nick Caistor and Lorenza Garcia, Fracture is a novel for our times and astonishingly relevant. Radiation, like coronavirus, is an invisible killer."  Whilst in the Financial Times, David Pilling felt that "in this enjoyable and strangely tender book, Neuman asks us to look beyond the present." 

Book reviews for Viv Groskop's Au Revoir, Tristesse were the picture of happiness this week. An editor's choice for The Bookseller's Caroline Sanderson, who praised Groskop's exploration of French literature as she "constructs a convincing case for the joy and elan to be found in such works". The Irish Times gave the book a near perfect review, as Sara Keating said: "Groskop sheds light on how personal readings of books can shift with time." Over in the Times, Rachel Campbell-Johnston commented "This book offers the simple happiness of knowing that there are loads of amazing French novels out there still waiting to be read — or re-read."

Featuring new book reviews for Niamh Campbell's This Happy, Joanna Briscoe's The Seduction and Reni Eddo-Lodge's Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People About Race

The Week in Review 19th June 2020

Book Reviews for Niamh Campbell's This Happy deem the book 'vibrant', 'sensual' and 'exhilarating'

Good morning Karen, 

Niamh Campbell's This Happy (Weidenfeld & Nicolson) put a smile reviewer's faces this weekend. In the Sunday Times, Lucy Knight called the book "an exhilarating coming-of-age story for fans of Sally Rooney", adding that the retrospective narration makes Alannah a "fuller, more satisfying character than others of this ilk." In the Irish Times, Sarah Gilmartin praised the author's "layered and vibrant debut", saying it is full of "sensual, offbeat descriptions". Over in the Sunday Telegraph, Cal Revely-Calder said that This Happy's "opulent unhappiness is something to enjoy" as it is "a novel of psychological texture."

Joanna Briscoe's The Seduction (Bloomsbury) certainly enticed reviewers this weekend. In the Spectator, Francesca Steele noted that "the beautifully observed familial pains are universal." Anthony Cummins called the novel a  "page-turning psycho sexual romp" in the Daily Mail. Whilst in the Guardian, Lara Feigel praised the tone of the novel: "through this addictive, macabre fairground ride of a novel, Briscoe reminds us to value the quieter forms of love." 

Book reviews for Reni Eddo-Lodge's Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People About Race (Bloomsbury, 2017) have made a resurgence in the media this week as the title is part of many anti-racist reading lists. In the Daily Express, Jenny Desborough said the book is "an important read to understand race relations in our culture." In Prima, Arielle Tchiprout added that Eddo-Lodge's book is "an important educational tool for white allies." Whilst in Vogue, Hayley Maitland mirrored these sentiments saying that the book successfully picks apart the "insidious nature of white privilege in minute detail – and mapping the ramifications of racial bias in the UK."
