It's our best books of 2022, one of our favourite episodes to record as by this point we've done all the hard work of reading, now it's time to sit back and consider which, of all the books we read in 2022, were our very favourites. That might be a new release or it might be a backlist gem. We've also got the books that got us through difficult moments, the books that made us laugh or cry, and the ones we recommended and gave to friends. As we're nothing if not critical we've got some books that didn't quite live up to our expectations before we finally crown our top three books of 2022.  As snow falls gently around the shed, the fairy lights twinkle, the mulled wine is warm, and we discuss our favourite reads of 2022 with regular special guest, journalist Phil Chaffee. Books mentioned are listed below, but if you want to be surprised look away now. Book recommendations for Best Books of 2022 Favourite new release: Laura loved TRUST by Herman Diaz, Phil's favourite (with also-rans The Marriage Portraitby Maggie O'Farrell and Love Marriage by Monica Ali) was THE SECRET LIVES OF CHURCH LADIES by Deesha Philyaw, while Kate loved SEVEN STEEPLES by Sara Baume (with honorable mentions Housebreaking by Colleen Hubbard and Briefly: A Delicious Life by Nell Stevens) Favourite backlist title: Phil picked THE BETROTHED by Alessandro Manzoni (with also-rans The Blackwater Lightship by Colm Toíbín, and Beware of Pity by Stefan Zweig). Kate loved The Homemaker by Dorothy Canfield-Fisher but her favourite was O CALEDONIA by Elspeth Barker. Laura went for WIVES AND DAUGHTERS by Elizabeth Gaskell. Favourite non-fiction reads: For Kate it was THE PALACE PAPERS, Tina Brown's engaging examination of the British royal family and our collective fascination with (or indifference) to them. Kate's also-rans were Fall by John Preston (did Robert Maxwell fall or was he pushed?), 4,000 Weeks by Oliver Burkeman (if we did but have the time to discuss it) and Entangled Life by Merlin Sheldrake (book everyone says is great turns out to be great). Laura only reads non-fiction when her book club forces her too, but luckily she did end up reading CASTE by Isabel Wilkerson, a book that changed her view of the world within the first fifty pages. Phil loved Putin's People by Catherine Belton and Not One Inch by M.E. Sarotte, but his overall favourite was THE RED PRINCE by Timothy Snyder. Favourite Book Club reads. Top of the pile for Laura was MICHEL THE GIANT by Tété-Michel Kpomassie while Phil preferred EIGHT MONTHS ON GHAZZAH STREET by Hilary Mantel. Kate loved The Heart is a Lonely Hunterby Carson McCullers but her ultimate choice was LIGHT PERPETUAL by Francis Spufford Favourite comfort reads: For Phil it was EITHER/OR by Elif Batuman; he now only wants to read books narrated by her protagonist Selin. Laura escaped to a creepy Swiss hotel with THE SANATORIUM by Sarah Pearse while Kate sank into the arms of old friend E.M. Delafield with THE DIARY OF A PROVINCIAL LADY. A book that made us laugh or cry: For Kate it was A HEART THAT WORKS by Rob Delaney. Phil enjoyed THREE MEN IN A BOAT by Jerome K. Jerome (in audiobook form read by Hugh Laurie). Laura loved Small by Claire Lynch and The Sentence by Louise Erdrich, but her final choice was THE BREAD THE DEVIL KNEAD by Lisa Allen-Agostini A book we pressed on a friend: Runner-up for Phil was We Don't Know Ourselves by Fintan O'Toole but his favourite was THE FREE WORLD by Louis Menand. Laura's pick was THE SIXTEEN TREES OF THE SOMME by Lars Mytting Books we read that didn't quite live up to our expectations: THE ABSOLUTE BOOK by Elizabeth Knox promised much for Laura but ultimately didn't deliver. Phil really didn't get on with A LITTLE LIFE by Hanya Yanigahara (and has *really* thought about why) and for Kate LIBERATION DAY by George Saunders didn't quite meet the soaring heights of his other books. Overall Book of the Year: Laura's standout was THE TREES by Percival Everett. Kate loved After Sappho by Selby Wyn Schwartz and The Door by Magda Szabó but her overall favourite read was LONESOME DOVE by Larry McMurtry. Phil meanwhile loved the Elena Ferrante Neopolitan quartet, but his overall book of the year is, as mentioned earlier, THE FREE WORLD by Louis Menand. A few other books we mention in passing: Golden Hill by Francis Spufford The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon Babel by R. F. Kuang A Place of Greater Safety by Hilary Mantel Utopia Avenue by David Mitchell The English Understand Wool by Helen DeWitt The Little Library Parties and The Little Library Christmas by Kate Young Find full shownotes and links to related podcast episodes at our website thebookclubreview.co.uk, where you'll also find a transcript and our comments forum.

In this episode of The Dublin Review Podcast, Aingeala Flannery talks to Sara Baume about her essay The Viewings, which was published in The Dublin Review NUMBER 88 | AUTUMN 2022

This week I had the amazing opportunity to sit down and talk with Sara Baume who is the amazing author of the book Seven Steeples. Take a listen as we dig into her inspiration and how here art imitated life or maybe it was the other way around, but I promise you will not be disappointed.At its core, Seven Steeples takes a look at a period of two people's lives over the course of seven years, leading into their eighth. The characters Bell, Sigh and their dogs Voss and Pip occupy this rental house where they seem to have just kind of given up on what we would say is a normal existence. But you get the impression the author does not see it this way. Here her answer when I ask her.We will talk about her naming convention for her charactersWhether or not they are hermitsThe symbolism of the mountain in the bookWe will talk about how it was so strange for me as a reader to see the world through these two seemingly strange characters, but then starting to envy them in some ways.At the end of it all, I can highly recommend the book, Seven Steeples. Check it out. I think you will enjoy it as much as I did.Support the show

In this episode I chat with Irish author Sara Baume about her visual artwork, writing, the financial difficulties of living as a creative, and her new book, Seven Steeples. SARA BAUME studied fine art before earning a master's in creative writing. Her first novel, Spill Simmer Falter Wither, won the Rooney Prize for Irish Literature, the Sunday Independent Newcomer of the Year Award, the Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize, and was short-listed for the Costa First Novel Award. She is also the recipient of the Davy Byrnes Short Story Award and the Hennessy New Irish Writing Award. Sara's latest novel Seven Steeples is about a couple, Bell and Sigh, who move with their dogs to the Irish countryside, immersing themselves in nature and attempting to disappear from society. Sara lives in Cork, Ireland.Sara BaumeSeven Steeples, Sara BaumeSeven Steeples: A Minister and Her People, Margaret K.

Sara Baume is unafraid to use her own life in her writing, while insisting on its status as fiction. She does it again in her new book Seven Steeples, a gentle and thought-provoking novel spanning seven years. It's about a couple and their two rescue dogs who drop off the radar and live a quiet life doing as little harm to the planet as possible. “Everything I write is always an extremity of my actual existence. It's sort of like a smudged out version of us, I suppose,” says Sara, who moved to the countryside 11 years ago and currently lives with her partner in West Cork. She also works as a visual artist and describes the deep sense of satisfaction she gains from working with her hands, whether on patchwork flags or wooden birds or tiny ships. Seven Steeples by Sara Baume is published by Tramp Press https://tramppress.com/product/seven-steeples/

This month we speak to writer and artist Sara Baume. Sara is the author of Spill Simmer Falter Wither (2015), A Line Made by Walking (2017), the non-fiction handiwork (2020) and Seven Steeples, which is released this month on Tramp Press, who have published all of her work so far. Amongst much else, we cover: living a creative life that combines writing and visual art; learning narrative from arthouse cinema; finding a form from the original idea; writing slowly; abandoning work that doesn't feel right.

Seven Steeples by Sara Baume, is a story set in rural Ireland in the shadow of a mountain. Rebel Artists is a series of talks at the National Concert Hall on the subject of art and rebellion. Nosferatu is a German horror film from the silent era, now regarded as one of the most influential movies ever made.

A 21st-century dip into literary stream of consciousness. This narrative technique attempts to depict in words the multitudinous thoughts and feelings passing through the human mind. It first gained prominence among Modernist writers as they attempted to represent life in the increasingly complex industrialized world of the 1920s. The technique has never run dry, but now, a century later, stream of consciousness is proving a fresh wellspring for young writers as they attempt to convey life in our comparably challenging, fragmented and frenetic online age. Rebecca Watson is one such writer, and her first novel, "little scratch", has already attracted much praise for its depiction of the thoughts and feelings of a young woman over a deceptively simple single day. It was shortlisted in 2021 for the Goldsmiths Prize, which rewards innovation and creative daring in the novel. Rebecca traces the technique back to its headwaters, hearing from academics and fellow authors about the American psychologist William James, the French philosopher Henri Bergson, and the key writers - Virginia Woolf, T S Eliot and James Joyce - who, a hundred years ago, made it their own, in works such as Mrs Dalloway, The Waste Land and Ulysses. This documentary , flowing with archive and music, itself follows the associative leaps characteristic of stream of consciousness. It is particularly timely in an era when the onslaught of social media frequently feels overwhelming and the term “streaming” is itself becoming a dominant metaphor for how we live our lives. Contributions from Philip Davis, Sandeep Parmar, Michael Whitworth, Sara Baume and Mike McCormack. Producer: Beaty Rubens

In her conversation with Elke D'hoker, Sara Baume talks about her life as an author and artist in times of Covid19, the significance of daily routines, the migration of birds, differences between writing fiction and memoirs, truth(s) in novels and non-fiction, art and death, folk art, climate change and inequality, and her reluctance to see herself as an activist. Sara Baume also reads from her non-fictional narrative Handiwork (2020).

We chat with writer and visual artist Sara Baume about her third book, handiwork. Just last week shortlisted for the prestigious Rathbones Folio Prize, it is a contemplative short narrative that charts Sara's daily process of making and writing, exploring what it is to create and to live as an artist. Short and spare, gentle and devastating, handiwork reflects on the nature of art, grief, bird migration and a life lived well.

The Laureate for Irish Fiction, Sebastian Barry, hosts a series of brief conversations with fellow writers asking what is writing. What is its purpose and mystery beyond the pragmatic notions of academia and journalism? This series will form part of a visual archive highlighting the golden age of writing in Ireland.

She won the 2014 Davy Byrne's Short Story Award, and in 2015, the Hennessy New Irish Writing Award, the Rooney Prize for Literature and an Irish Book Award for Best Newcomer. Her debut novel, Spill Simmer Falter Wither was longlisted for the Guardian First Book Award, the Warwick Prize for Writing, the Desmond Elliott Prize for New Fiction and the International Dublin Literary Award. It was shortlisted for the Costa First Novel Award, and won the Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize and the Kate O'Brien Award. Her short fiction and criticism have been published in anthologies, newspapers and journals such as the Irish Times, the Guardian, Stinging Fly and Granta magazine. In autumn 2015, she was a participant in the International Writing Program run by the University of Iowa and received a Literary Fellowship from the Lannan Foundation in Santa Fe, New Mexico. She lives in West Cork. The Laureate for Irish Fiction is an initiative of the Arts Council in partnership with University College Dublin and New York University.

This week presenter Zoe Comyns is guided by the Keyword ‘Patterns'. Contributors to the episode have drawn inspiration from patterns of human and bird behaviour, the patterns we ink on to our skin and the patterns which can make a daily routine. Writer and musician Julian Gough is trying to record a podcast with Solana Joy. They are married and like many professionals are working from their home. The regular interruptions from their cat and their small child form a humorous pattern which becomes the short feature recorded for Keywords. When writer and artist Sara Baume visited Cape Clear Island in West Cork she learned about vagrant birds which land on the island every year. These are birds which are rerouted accidentally from their migration lines and they inspired Sara to make a series of cross-stitchings representing each species of bird. Ruth O'Connor is a fashion & design journalist - she looks at how a new community of creatives - designers, craftspeople and costume makers - have come together recently to make face masks; each with their own intricate pattern and how they have ‘created new bonds, communities and friendships - people of all ages and backgrounds woven together like warp and weft'. Writer Siobhán Mannion looks at how the lifelong pattern of gift-giving - ‘handknitted wools, and your vast array of patterned scarves' - can establish deep family bonds. These are maintained, via memory and the objects themselves, after the loss of a loved one. Her short essay features music composed by Cian Roche. Elaine Howley is a sound artist and in her composition we hear a musical treatment of how - possibly obsessive - thoughts about another person can flow and ebb in sonic waves. 'I am falling into a thought about you again. I am a thought. I am you again. I am a thought about a thought... ' The pattern of destructive behaviour is the subject of poet Kimberly Reyes' piece ‘On Touch'. It is set in Cork where Kimberly - a New York resident - was spending time as a Fulbright scholar. She compares the patterns of yearning for love to an addiction: ‘my Black femaleness in mostly-white surroundings meant that I was romantically under socialized and just plain dumb in dating, always searching for a hit of the touch drug.' Diarmuid Hester is an Irish writer and an academic based in the UK. He tells a story about how the detailed patterns of tattoos on his body became interwoven with an unlikely friendship with the tattoo artist - a friendship ‘laid down in blood and ink'.

Are you swimming in zucchini yet?   Emily Seftel, of The Tennessean, wrote an article in 2006 that was titled Gad zuks!- which I think is hilarious; we don’t use that term enough, do we?   Anyway, the article started out this way:   "Zucchini, the summer squash, is the Rodney Dangerfield of the produce world it gets no respect."   Then, the article goes on to share some recipes, which were offered by Chef Laura Slama who said,   "When you’re cooking with zucchini, all you need to do is add a little olive oil and kosher salt to bring out it’s flavor."   The three recipes she shared, were for Mexican Zucchini Corn and Black Tostadas - that looked amazing. Then, Sautéed Zucchini Strings; which is basically zucchini that’s been turned into spaghetti. And, finally, she shared an Orzo Pasta with Roasted Zucchini.   One of my favorite recipes for zucchini is from The New Zucchini Cookbookand Other Squashby Nancy Ralston and Mary Jordan.   It’s for a zucchini basil tart:   You drain salted zucchini and tomato slices on paper towels. You purée basil in a food processor with ricotta and eggs and you add mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Then you line a 9 inch pie shell with zucchini slices. Spoon the basil mixture over the top and then put tomato slices on the top. Then brush the whole top of it with olive oil and bake it for 40 to 50 minutes. Yum.    I’ll put the link to the recipes in today show notes as well as a link to the cookbook.       Brevities #OTDToday is the birthday of Magness Holman who was born in 1745. Holman was the painter who completed a portrait of Carla Ness that most people recognize. The portrait was painted around 1780. #OTD  Today is the birthday of François-Andre Michaux.   He was the son of the botanist Andrea Michaux. His father named an oak in his honor.   Michaux's mother died a few weeks after he was born. His father was so despondent, he turned to botany to deal with his grief. His mentors just happened to be some of the top gardeners in the Royal Gardens.    When François-Andre was 15 years old, he accompanied his dad to North America.   His father established a botanical garden in 1786 on property that’s now occupied by the Charleston Area National Airport.   As you leave the airport, you’ll notice a stunning mural that pays tribute the Michaux's - from the rice fields along the Ashley River to the Charleston Harbor where he introduced one of the first camellia plants. Andre-François and his father are depicted in the potager or kitchen garden. The mural was installed in 2016.   François-Andre stayed in America where he established a nursery in Hackensack, New Jersey and also in Charleston, South Carolina.   France was still eager to obtain trees from North America to replenish their forests and François-Andre grew them in his nursery.   He returned to France briefly in 1790 and participated in the French revolution. By 1801, he returned to the United States because the French government wanted him to get rid of the nurseries in Hackensack and Charleston.   François-Andre did as instructed and also explored the United States as far north as Maine, as far south as Georgia, and as far west as the Great Lakes. After his explorations, he returned to France, he had enough material and experience to prepare his masterpiece, North American Silva or North American Forests.   #OTD   Today in 1805, the Lewis and Clark expedition was near the Narrows of the Columbia river when the serviceberry was discovered.   Serviceberry are available in a number of different species.   There’s a wonderful graphic showing the different types of serviceberry featured on the spruce.com. I'll share a link to that in today's show notes.   Serviceberries are a member of the Rose family. Now that you know that, you’ll be able to recognize the family resemblance the next time you see one.   Serviceberry are primarily prized for their four-season interest: you get beautiful blossoms in the spring, fruits in the summer, fantastic autumn color, and wonderful bark coloration in the winter time.   The Maryland Department of Resources says that the etymology of the name serviceberry comes from church services which resumed around Easter time. People used to say that when the serviceberries were in flower, the ground had thawed enough to dig a grave.        #OTD  Today is the birthday of the third son of Charles Darwin, Francis Darwin - known to his family as Frank. Francis published the results of his work with his dad in a book called The Movement of Plants. The book details their experiments which showed that young grass seedlings grow toward the light.     OTD  It’s the anniversary of the death of Kenneth Woodbridge, who died on this day in 1988.   Woodbridge was known for his work on the history of garden design in England and France.   Woodbridge wrote a book called The Stourhead Landscape, a book about one of England’s greatest gardens.   Stourhead was the work of an English banker named Henry Hoare who lived during much of the 1700s.   Woodbridge's last book was called Princely Gardens it was published in 1986.   Princely Gardens analyzes the French formal style of landscape architecture. Despite not having the academic background of many garden historians, Woodbridge was a relentless researcher and writer. His obituary stated that his wife Joanne always balanced his intensity. Unearthed Words “August rain: the best of the summer gone, and the new fall not yet born. The odd uneven time.”  ― Sylvia Plath “This morning, the sun endures past dawn. I realize that it is August: the summer's last stand.”  ― Sara Baume, A Line Made by Walking “The month of August had turned into a griddle where the days just lay there and sizzled.”  ― Sue Monk Kidd, The Secret Life of Bees Today's book recommendation: Plant Parenting by Leslie Halleck   This is a new book that just came out in June of this year from Timberpress.   The images are gorgeous and this book feels quite modern and very on trend. This is a very beginner friendly introduction to plants, flowers, and seeds. Today's Garden Chore Add more color to your garden with bee balm or monarda.   It is also an herb.  Plant it in full sun.   Pollinators love it, as do hummingbirds.   I remember the first time I planted bee balm, I was blown away by the incredible enticing fragrance - a wonderful combination of mint, oregano, and thyme.   Once you smell it, you'll never forget it.  Bee Balm starts flowering now and will last throughout the summer.    When John Bartram was exploring North America, he made contact with the Native Americans who shared with him that they brewed a tea with bee balm to treat chills and fever. He called it Oswego.   But, it was made with Monarda. After the Boston tea party, the colonists needed something to drink and Oswego tea tasted pretty good and it also helped with sore throat’s and headaches.   Manarda is considered both a flower and an herb.   And in the fall, you can harvest the leaves and dry them and store them for later - when you want to make your own Oswego tea.   Something Sweet  Reviving the little botanic spark in your heart When I was researching  Kenneth Woodbridge, I ran across an article about his son, Tim Woodbridge. The article came out last year in February in the London Economic and it was called, "The incredible story of how a grieving landowner created one of Europe’s most celebrated gardens."   Tim was piggybacking on the subject his dad wrote about which was Stourhead Garden in Wiltshire. Tim says his dad discovered 95% of everything that is known about the garden today.   The garden is breathtaking because it is surrounding this gloriously breathtaking man-made lake.   All along people have assumed that the lake was part of the plan by Henry Hoare, the banker, who established the garden as his lasting legacy. But Tim believes he’s uncovered a secret about the garden that had been lost to time.   In 2005, the National Trust commissioned an underwater survey of the lake.   Tim’s book, called The Choice, explains that the lake is hiding a first garden – the garden that was built to honor Hoare's dead wife, Susan.   The garden was nearly completed when suddenly Hoare's son and only heir, Henry, died of smallpox in Naples. He was just 22 years old.   Tim believes that the garden became too painful and that Hoare's shocking next move was to do something about it.  Tim believes that Hoare built a dam and then flooded the garden; creating the magnificent great lake that people drive to see from all over the world. Instead of a planned part of the design; The lake was an outward sign of grief of a husband and father whose tears hid the garden he had built for posterity.   And I think, if a garden could cry... this is what it would look like.      Thanks for listening to the daily gardener, and remember: "For a happy, healthy life, garden every day."

"This is the most personally involved I've been in a thing. It's taken over my life more than anything I've ever done before." Ahead of In Clouds, a new immersive, collaborative piece of music theatre, premiering at Cork Midsummer, I talked to director and co-composer Peter Power and author Sara Baume about the work and what they're hoping to achieve with it.

Matthew Adams, of the Guardian, called Gavin Corbett ‘one of the most inventive and beguiling writers of contemporary fiction’. The Irish Times, in praise of his latest novel, Green Glowing Skull, called it ‘a blizzard of imaginative energy… prose sings on every page - while it slips its strangeness in.’

We talked about Cork, the lineage of writers who have come before them, and lots more

Do illustrations have a place in the novel? Pictures were commonplace in nineteenth-century books by authors like Thackeray and Dickens, and yet today almost all grown-up fiction is devoid of any illustrations, with a few notable exceptions including the work of W.G. Sebald and Douglas Coupland. Should a case be made for bringing them back? Our guest is the Irish writer Sara Baume whose first novel, Spill Simmer Falter Wither has won and been shortlisted for a whole host of prizes, including the Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize for Fiction. Her second novel, A Line Made by Walking, is not only illustrated with photographs, but is infused with ideas from contemporary art. Listen in as we talk to Sara and then discuss our favourite illustrations.

Books editor at 'The Bookseller', Alice O'Keeffe, brings in the novels that she’s looking forward to this month by the authors Kate Hamer, Sara Baume and Ayobami Adebayo.

Sara Baume’s debut novel, Spill Simmer Falter Wither is divided into four sections, each one a different season, with names she made up to reflect what her main character Ray is going through; spring becomes spill, simmer is summer, falter is fall, and wither, winter. It is an absolutely stunning read and one that promises to linger long after you’ve turned that last page. This week, on Bookmark, Uma speaks to Irish author Sara Baume about her wonderful book.
