I just finished At The Grand Glacier Hotel by Laurence Fearnley. I really liked it. Have read several others by her and they were all good. She writes beautifully about the natural world and also about people.
It’s a rare treat to read a book set in places you know (Dunedin and the West Coast) and recognise the little peculiarities mentioned!
Fearnley draws on her own experiences of cancer treatment in this book, and that was something I could relate to also 🫤
I'm very happy that my new climate fiction novel Emergency Weather is on Kete's "Best of 2023" fiction list, and in good company - check out the list here: https://ketebooks.co.nz/all-book-reviews/bestof23fiction

2023 has been an astonishingly good year for Aotearoa fiction. From bestsellers to best pandemic novels, best holiday reading, to the best suspense (and more), here are the fiction books that made the biggest impression.
I enjoyed "The World I Found", Latika Vasil’s new novel, a great deal – so I wanted to ask her more about it. Here is our interview!
