A break from our Shiny Prize Season today. @peterreason.bsky.social reviews Smoke and Ashes by Amitav Ghosh, John Murray Press. 'A fascinating and disturbing history,' says Peter. shinynewbooks.co.uk/smoke-and-ashe…

We usually post our reviews on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but sometimes our inbox lets us post more often. Do you have a preference for when? We tend to default to using Wednesdays, but are you more likely to visit on another day, or prefer more than one on a Tues/Thurs?

Our second visit to the Intl The Booker Prizes longlist is for A Dictator Calls by Ismail Kadare transl. John Hodgson, reviewed by kaggsy59 📚📚📚😷 shinynewbooks.co.uk/shiny-prize-se…

This coming week at Shiny ahead of the shortlist announcements from the The Carol Shields Prize for Fiction and Intl The Booker Prizes we have four more reviews from their longlists for you on Tuesday and Wednesday.
