This post might be too long for email—if it cuts off, you can open it in the app or on the web. I’m writing to you from Villa Lena—a lovely hidden gem and artist residence in the Tuscan countryside (with excellent views, even from the bathroom).

I’ve always gravitated towards people older than me. I’m nearly 36, and recently I’ve noticed that most of the people I spend time with—or send voice notes to—are either older or younger than me, but rarely my own age. Apart from a handful of friends from school and university, I’m surrounded by intergenerational friendships—a theme that also appears in my most recent novel. Last Summer I met up with a friend in NYC who is 60. I went to stay with a friend last year who is 62.

Table For One, my new novel, is out now—in all good book stores. Here is a little three-day diary in case you are curious as to what my publication week has looked like. <3 My recommended retailer is Bookshop.org. 23rd April 2025The day before publication day, I felt jittery and strange. I felt this enormous sense of ‘what have I done??’ and not in a good way. I had just spent four years of my life (on and off) making something that had absolutely zero guaranteed outcome.

I believe that when we write fiction, we are dancing with our subconscious. I never know what I’m writing about until I’ve written it. I don’t plan my novels, so I’m often left with a messy first draft that needs a lot of editing. Sometimes, I still don’t know what I’ve written about until the reviews come in, and one recently said that my latest Table For One reads as “a love letter to solitude”. Yes, that’s exactly it. I utter these three words most weeks because I love to eat alone in restaurants.

My piece for @guardian on the joy and stigma of dining alone. The New York Times recently wrote about how solo dining might be making people unhappier. I wrote about how that might not be completely true. https://t.co/aWj97MryCF
