LAST ONE AT THE PARTY
RELEASED 4 FEBRUARY 368 pages | Hardback/ebook/ audiobook Author Bethany Clift Publisher Hodder & Stoughton
With 2020 finally behind us, what better to move forward with than… a novel about a world-ending pandemic? It’s unfortunate timing for author Bethany Clift, who explains in her foreword that the novel was in edits when lockdown hit last year. It does make for an incredibly up-to-date feel – the book takes place in 2023/24, and there are frequent references to the lessons learned from Covid-19 – but it depends on whether you’re quite ready for that.
