Thoroughly enjoyed reading this book #PeelingApples by Alan Parry. A heart-warming and refreshing story that moves through innocent, yet observant and sensitive eyes of a child. Loved it!

Cover of Peeling Apples by Alan Parry. The title is handwritten in black on a textured pale blue background, partially torn to reveal layered photographs underneath. Images include red apples on a wooden board, a cracked mug holding a cactus, a netted bowl of marbles on a lace doily, and a vintage photo of a young boy holding a football. The author’s name appears at the bottom in the same handwritten font.
My debut novella #PeelingApples is out now with @darkwinterlitmag.bsky.social
A tender, unflinching bildungsroman tracing boyhood, loss, and becoming—

Entry way - side alley between grandmother's and next door. Features in Alan Parry's novella Peeling Apples.
If anybody has read my novella #PeelingApples @darkwinterlitmag.bsky.social
This is the real Nana Mavis's back garden and entry way. In the far corner is where the shed stood, that's the fence Martyn fell through, and that's where the car stood on bricks.

Mrs. Joyce’s porch. Teacups of cacti, margarine tubs, chilli strings, and sunlight like memory.
Peeling Apples is a story of boyhood, loss, and unexpected friendship.

Iconic and moving, simple yet overwhelming, written through the eyes of a child—on the other side of love. The impact lingers through those children's eyes long after the end.
Apologies second post in a day—but this deserves.

I mentioned that I had a book coming out to a student yesterday and she said, 'It might be shite!'
And it might be - but you need to read it to decide 😂
