Nightingale Point, the “compelling and finely crafted” (The Guardian) Women’s Prize-shortlisted novel by Luan Goldie, has been selected for the World Book Night 2023 Booklist on 23rd April 2023.

Luan and her publisher, HQ, are partnering with The Reading Agency, who are sending out copies of Nightingale Point as part of their initiative to help even more people have access to reading.

World Book Night is about celebrating and sharing books with others. Each year, copies of the books on the booklist are donated to organisations across the UK that can reach people who don’t regularly read for pleasure or have access to books. You can find out more about World Book Night and see the full 2023 Booklist here.

Join in for #ReadingHour between 7-8pm on 23rd April for an hour of reading, to focus on yourself and escape into a book.

Nightingale Point is a sharp, funny and heartbreaking story about working-class people and the strength of community in the face of adversity.

It’s a day like any other, until something extraordinary happens. When the sun sets, Nightingale Point is irrevocably changed and somehow, through the darkness, the residents must find a way back to lightness, and back to each other.

Nightingale Point is out now. You can buy your copy here or, better, via your local bookshop or Bookshop.org.
