Now available for pre-order.
Hattaway’s signature pared back style reveals the starkness at the heart of life experiences – family connections, expectations, disappointments, grief. The detached voice, now teasing the reader with deadpan wit, now teetering cheerfully on the abyss, unflinchingly gazes upon ‘ sadness/at the heart of things’ yet emerges resilient, resisting, surviving.

"A formidable feat of imagination underpins this marvellous detective novel set in late 16th/early 17th century Spain...Canticle is a tale for our time, rife with insitutionalised power struggles, truth and misinformation, manipulated in the interests of the elite - same as it always was and is."

Quarantena by Nina Karacosta
ISBN 978-1-913598-14-3
Quarantena is an intriguing meditation on the 50 days of the Paris lockdown, from March - May 2020. The collection is composed of 50 poems, one for every day, and reflect the practical, emotional and psychological journey of the writer through that strange time, as well as the wider social roots and impact of the experience. It is a profound reflection on a time which is perhaps one of the strangest we have lived through.
