The Blood Orange Grove
The most transporting novel I've read all year — you can smell the citrus and the woodsmoke.— Ren, bookseller
Marginalia is a neighbourhood bookshop where every title on the table has been read, argued over, and chosen by a bookseller who couldn't wait to tell you about it.
Four books our booksellers pressed into someone's hands this week — with the sort of note we'd leave tucked inside the cover.
The most transporting novel I've read all year — you can smell the citrus and the woodsmoke.— Ren, bookseller
Quiet, precise essays on maps, memory and the places we leave behind.— Marlowe, bookseller
Poems for 3am and the slow return of light. We can't keep it on the shelf.— Ada, bookseller
A year of watching the marshes — tender, exact, and full of wonder.— Ren, bookseller
Eighteen thousand titles, sorted the way a reader thinks — not the way a warehouse does.
Readings, clubs and late-night poetry — most nights of the week, upstairs by the fire. All welcome.
A short weekly note from the shop: what we're reading, what's just arrived, and who's coming to speak. No noise, no spam, unsubscribe any time.
