British author Bobby Palmer's Isaac And The Egg was one of our favourite reads last year. And in his follow-up, Small Hours, he adopts the same magical elements to an otherwise simple story about a father and a son struggling to mend their fractured relationship.
Here, Bobby chats with us about the process behind writing his second novel, how his life has changed since the fanfare of his debut and why he never thought he'd become a novelist.
Tell us about your journey with Small Hours...
It came out of two things - the world going into lockdown and my own moving out of London. Both made me think a lot about the pace of modern life, and about our relationship with the old, slow, natural world. So I decided to write a book about a burnt-out city boy who returns to the woods where he grew up and the distant father who spends his days in them.
