    Welcome to this very special preview episode of Best Book Forward! Today, I am giving you an exclusive sneak peek into my conversation with Bobby Palmer ahead of the main episode dropping this Thursday.

    Main Characters is out this Thursday, you do not want to miss this book (or episode). Make sure you hang around to the end of the episode to hear Bobby read a little extract for you.

    In this quick preview, I am sharing a little glimpse of what is to come later this week. We chat about Bobby’s inspirations and why he decided to write a book with 82 different points of view - I’m glad he did because it makes for a fabulous read

  • Karen Swan on Three Summers

    Karen Swan on Three Summers
    2026/06/11

    In this week’s episode I am joined by Karen Swan to talk about her brilliant new novel, Three Summers which is out today in paperback (link below). This episode was a pure joy to record, we actually spoke for nearly two hours as we got chatting before we hit record and I think we could have easily nattered for another hour too.

    In this episode, Karen talks about finding the perfect setting for Three Summers, I think we need a Best Book Forward retreat there, how she balances writing emotionally tense scenes and of course the five books that shaped Karen’s life which were.

    Karen’s Book Choices:

    • My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante
    • The Summer Book by Tove Jansson
    • Life After Life by Kate Atkinson
    • Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
    • Birdsong by Sebastian Faulks

    Books by Karen Swan

    • Three Summers
