A lovely parcel through the post - a proof copy of Adele Geras's new novel, A Hidden Life, to be published in August.Proofs are SO exciting! Limited in number, the cover not yet finalized, the text not yet finally corrected - they come with such an exciting sense of the process of publishing, and of privilege at being included!
The author of numerous acclaimed children's books, Adele has already published three adult novels - luscious sagas in which characters are made to confront the secrets of the past. A Hidden Life, her fourth, looks to be no exception: the story of a family gathered to discover explosive secrets at a funeral.
And there's the proof copy, sitting enticingly beside my bed, waiting for me to begin!
