Edinburgh Book Festival
Louisa appeared the Edinburgh Book Festival with Sigrid Rausing, author of ‘Mayhem’, discussing addiction, and what we’re meant to to do — or not do — when this illness descends on those we love, and thus us too. ‘Perhaps even writing a book like this is part of it, part of the obsession, the family disease.’
I Am Heathcliff
‘Heathcliff I Have Known’, a short story, was published in ‘I Am Heathcliff’, a collection compiled by Kate Mosse, commissioned by The Borough Press for Emily Brontë’s bicentenary year. ‘I hate Heathcliff; I hate Heathcliff-type behaviour. I hate the way it’s been romanticised. But Ann Bronte, now. ‘The Tenant of Wildfell Hall’. There’s a good book about nasty men and women who try to get away.’
You Left Early: the memoir
‘You Left Early: A True Story of Love and Alcohol’ was published. It’s about love, alcohol, music, cancer, genius, class, disability, romanticism, death. It’s ‘Beautiful’, ‘Brilliant’, ‘So so true’. Available in hardback, ebook and also audiobook, read by Louisa Young. Preorder here
Vinyl Fans: Get the CD Bonus Track
Those of you who buy the vinyl of You Left Early, hit us up on the Contact page for a download voucher for Love Ain’t Listening, the CD’s bonus track. It is only not on the vinyl because there was not physical room enough for it. As we couldn’t fit all the tracks on, we decided to leave off the happy one, and leave the album 100 percent emotionally sad. But here we are now giving you a second chance at happiness. We don’t want you to miss out.
