Girl Reading is an Oprah Book of the Week

Girl Reading is an Oprah Book of the Week

Posted by Victoria Pepe in Author News, Book News, TV, Film & Radio News

Women everywhere are talking about Girl Reading; the critically acclaimed début novel by Katie Ward, including, it seems, the legendary Oprah Winfrey! The US edition of Girl Reading has been picked as a Book of the Week by the lovely people at O and Oprah.com, who were 'transfixed by the stories of seven women', calling it a 'luminously vulnerable début novel'.

You can read the full Book of the Week entry on Oprah.com.

On this side of the pond, Girl Reading is a TV Book Club pick. Tune into More4 at 19.20 on 4 March to see the TV Book Club crew talking about the book. And stay tuned to the Virago website over the next few days for some great Girl Reading bonus materials and your chance to win a copy of the book!

Girl Reading is available in paperback and as an audio download now.
