Thanks so much for getting in touch. Glad you enjoyed Mrs Sinclair's Suitcase. I have to be honest and say, I'm not sure what happens to Roberta and Philip, although I'm pretty sure they still live in the flat above the bookshop and spend their days working there. I suspect they are a good couple, happy and content. There might be a child or two by now... who knows? And I like to think Anna visits from time to time, forming a relationship with Roberta. Let's hope so! (less)

I started to, but it was so odd hearing my words spoken by those brilliant actresses. I felt so self-conscious. I'm doing fine, thank you for asking. My second novel is out 28 March. No plans for an audio version yet, but fingers crossed there will be one. Hope this answers your questions?! (less)

My second read of this novel, and it's as good as I remember it. The build-up throughout the story is so well-paced and gripping, and the final moments of Anne Boleyn are terrifying and macabre. You can't help but look upon it all, horrified, wanting ...more

Excellent novel, and really comes into its own as an audio book. Bengamin Wood does a great job of narrating and singing. His American accent is convincing too. It's also a fabulous story with so many layers. It's short, bitter-sweet, moving, and ent ...more

The Land in Winter by Andrew  Miller
"3.5, rounded up.

I enjoyed reading most of this novel. Set during the famous big freeze of 1962-3, it felt authentic for the time period - which was actually pre-Beatles. Pre a lot of things, however now and then a ‘modern’ word or expression crept i" Read more of this review »

This was an OK listen, but not quite what I was expecting. The prose was as cold and flat as the ice and snow it describes. The characters were not sympathetic. Emotion was lacking, for my taste. I finished it feeling a little disappointed. A shame b ...more

I wanted to read this after seeing the film of the same name. It's very different to the film, but I can see what was taken from the novel and transformed into the movie. Both are very good - horrifying, inventive, moving, and hypnotic. Perhaps also ...more

Brilliantly read audiobook. The narrator is Madeleine Leslay and she is perfect for this novel. She gets the tone just right. This is an unusual story, at times funny, quaint, and charming. But don't allow the rather misleadingly sentimental title to ...more

Quotes by Louise Walters  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“I find things hidden in books: dried flowers, locks of hair, tickets, labels, receipt, invoices, photographs, postcards, all manner of cards. I find letters, unpublished works by the ordinary, the anguished, the illiterate. Clumsily written or eloquent, they are love letters, everyday letters, secret letters and mundane letters talking about fruit and babies and tennis matches, from people signing themselves as Majorie or Jean....I can't bring myself to dispose of these snippets and snapshots of lives that once meant (or still do mean) so much.”
Louise Walters, Mrs. Sinclair's Suitcase

“Books smell, they creak, they talk. You hold in your hand now a living, breathing, whispering thing, a book. Philip”
Louise Walters, Mrs. Sinclair's Suitcase

“I knew you were for all time, even as there is no time.”
Louise Walters, Mrs. Sinclair's Suitcase
