On this date in 2019, I wrote about Gertrude Trevelyan's As It Was in the Beginning, which one reviewer called "almost unreadable in its intensity." Trevelyan's most stylistically daring novel is now in print again from @bhousepress.bsky.social neglectedbooks.com/?...

Without a marketing budget or bands of loyal podcasters, the Recovered Books series from @bhousepress.bsky.social relies on word of mouth recommendations.

I've just finished reading this courtesy of #recoveredbooks at Boiler House Press. It's definitely staying on the To Be Read Again shelf! Complex and elegiac, a woman trapped in a role which she feels she doesn't fit...For a work that's nigh on 100 years old, it reads as very modern.

One of the most fascinating aspects of Norman Macleod's The Bitter Roots, just published by @bhousepress.bsky.social and the U. of Montana Press, is the wealth of contemporary events Macleod incorporates into his text. A thread (🧵) with some examples.
