In this video I discuss my thoughts (and emotions) on The New Life by Tom Crewe. This was a rollercoaster of emotions for me and I loved every second (even through the tears). It is no surprise that this novel made the long list for the Walter Scott Prize for Historical Fiction, and I expect it to make the short list next month. Have you read The New Life? What did you think? I loved the complexity of the plot and the characters and genuinely felt their emotions throughout.

With Cuddy not being shortlisted I think this is my pick for the Walter Scott prize… although I still need to read the other books in the shortlist

This was a recommended book to me to read for Pride, and it was an enjoyable read indeed. I was hoping subconciously for a fantastical ending, like we would see the beginnings of a change on the perception to the "Inverts" etc., but how it was written feels more authentic. Difficult but authentic and reasonable...

This is exactly how I felt about it. It would have been lovely to have a happier ending and seeing perceptions change and the characters getting their happy ending, but while it missed these, the closing did feel authentic to both the time and the novel itself 😊

Sounds great, thanks for putting it on my radar. Think I returned to the closet 20 years ago when I got married, just as you came out. It's almost embarrassing to say to my children's generation that I did something so foolish as things are so different now for teenagers.

We all have our own stories to tell and reasons for them, I was lucky as I didn’t have anything to lose and started working at a place with a number of LGBT people that helped me through it. However, I do recommend this book as while it portrays issues in the Victorian period, some of the stuff raised could very well be relevant to todays climate 😊
