Escape to the beach (or just a quiet corner) with one of these brilliant books this summer
House Of Music – Raising The Kanneh-MasonsA judging panel of independent booksellers will decide on the four winners, to be announced on 24 June 2022, the penultimate day of Independent Bookshop Week.
“I’ve always kept in my mind an ever-evolving map of Britain made up of my favourite indie bookshops,” said Kazuo Ishiguro in a statement. “Some are quiet sanctuaries; others are eccentric, obsessive, surreally eclectic. They’ve all of them inspired me down the years, nudging me into unexpected areas of interest, into fresh territories for my reading and my writing. I’m delighted Klara has made it onto the Indie Book Awards shortlist.”
Matt Haig added: “Indie bookshops are the beating pulse of the book industry. They are what keeps it truly alive and dynamic and interesting and where the intersection between writers, readers and the industry is the most vibrant. And so it’s an absolute honour to be included in the Indie Book Awards shortlist.”
