Translating two beautiful novels into Turkish and enjoy getting to know two female writers; one is from Trinidad and Tobago, the other is from Canada. Sometimes simply feel blessed.

Book Cover of Love Forms by Claire Adam longlisted for the Booker Prize 2025 and a black cat seeking attention, sitting on the book, preventing the reader from being able to read it.

A 16 year old Trinidadian in a predicament is smuggled across to Venezuela to avoid the shame her family may experience.

40 years later, she searches for what she has lost.

Compelling, insightful, at times uncomfortable. Unique for its raw, honest cultural observations.

Speed Reading - fiction I loved these three extrordinary, quietly compelling novels - two have since been nominated for the Booker Prize 2025

Pleased to have reviewed 3/13 on the #Bookerprize longlist, so far incl Love Forms by #ClaireAdam & The Rest of Our Lives by #BenMarkovits. Also rooting for The Land in Winter by #AndrewMiller & Ledia Xhoga's Misinterpretation (which I reviewed for the Observer). www.lucypopescu.com/2025/07/spee...

Love Forms by Claire Adam is a heart-breaking tale set against the beauty and dangers of Trinidad & Tobago. Descriptions of island life – lush countryside, healing power of the ocean, increasing violence – are done with a light touch that draws the reader in #LoveForms #ClaireAdam #faberbooks
