Walter's Bookshop in De Standaard der Letteren

Our favourite five from 2025

Lieke's favourite five

(ok, 6. Of course she couldn't choose)

This is probably the book I've been thinking about most often this year after reading it. Schweblins eerie and perfectly crafted stories crept under my skin, ithced and stung me - and they still do.
Stories again, again magnificent. Moore writes with such virtuoso and wit and psychological insight that I want to keep reading her forever. She makes her characters feel like I'm sitting at the table with them myself.
Oh, if only I could live in this novel. College, literary, love, heartbreak, love again, heartbreak again. Love
9781803511474
I'm a sucker for novels with alternating perspectives. And hiking. And good writing about complex mother-daughter (or family in general, for that matter) relationships. This one has it all.
Late to the party, but still partying over this book. And will be.
