Sad day today for the book trade. We lost a heroine to many of us. Margaret Daly was warm, kind, supportive to authors, colleagues and friends. I met her when I was a bookseller & when I became a publicist she was always there with solid advice & a smile. R.I.P.

I read this on hols last week and I know I’m 58 years behind ‘The Prime Of Miss Jean Brodie’ curve but it’s one of the best books I’ve ever read. Funny, unsettling & way ahead of its time. You all have my permission to take the day off & read it.
