Here are 2025's good, bad and ugly… Tash Aw’s The South tells an engaging, intense tale, while The Rest of Our Lives is a roadtrip that goes nowhere and Alan Hollinghurst’s Our Evenings is contrived and painful #bookstagram #bookerprize #booklover

Young British backpackers Hannah Witheridge and David Miller were bludgeoned to death on Koh Tao in September 2014. Two Burmese workers Zaw Lin and Wai Phyo were framed for the killings. My new novel is inspired by the case #bookstagram #BookTwitter #backpacking
