Three months out! Thank you to everyone who has read, shared, and championed THE SCRAPBOOK. I know how rare it is for a debut novel to get this kind of attention, and I’m very grateful. I didn’t think the book would be so timely when I wrote it. I wish it wasn’t. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/18/b...

Delighted to wander into Barnes & Noble and see this…

I picked up "The Scrapbook" by @heatherclarkauthor.bsky.social in Ireland last week. I've just finished it, and it really is quite the best novel I've read in many years.

We love this @irishexaminer.bsky.social interview between @heatherclarkauthor.bsky.social and Sue Leonard which arose out of their event at WCLF last month. The Scrapbook is a fantastic read www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle/ar...

Thanks @shelfawareness.bsky.social for choosing THE SCRAPBOOK as one of this week’s best books: “Heather Clark’s first novel is a finely wrought, subtle love story burdened by the weight of the past.”

Grateful for this sophisticated and perceptive review of THE SCRAPBOOK in this week’s TLS.

I’m in England for less than 48 hours, but I had to go up to Yorkshire to pay my respects. ❤️
