Very much looking forward to this Biographers' Club meeting tomorrow with Jad Adams #DecadentWomen Harriet Baker #RuralHours & Dr Leah Broad #Quartet !

The country lives of Virginia Woolf, Sylvia Townsend Warner and Rosamond Lehmann were studies in class, conflict and creativity.

RURAL HOURS in Literary Review, in which Susan Owens thoughtfully uses the phrase 'kitchen-cupboard’s eye-view' to describe the methodology of the book, which I love. literaryreview.co.uk/to-the-farmhou…

Happy publication, Harriet Baker! Going back to Shropshire this eve & taking RURAL HOURS with me - it sounds so beautiful. The subject (those three authors!), the cover (makes me think of Rembrandt's wife), the three blurbs, it's all catnip to me. Thank you, penguinpress!

Extremely grateful for the considered review in The Spectator, in which Lara Feigel meditates on Woolf's Asheham diary, Lehmann's wartime stories, and calls RURAL HOURS 'elegant and eloquent' spectator.co.uk/article/how-co…

An absolute pleasure to sit alongside Alexandra Harris and Julien Clin for BBC Radio 3's Free Thinking, and talk about place, belonging, obscure patches of rural England, and, yes, goats bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0h…

Goats. It's not ALL about goats, but they do provide an unexpected link between writers Sylvia Townsend Warner and Rosamond Lehman. Virginia Woolf's shopping lists are significant too. Shahidha Bari 📻 🎙️📚🖌 Alexandra Harris Harriet Baker on BBC Radio 3 at 10.00pm bbc.in/3PDr4oz
