Last year, we featured The Radleys by Matt Haig when it was first released — and we’re delighted to be featuring it again, as part of the official blog tour for the book’s paperback release. And I have to say, as much as I liked the original cover, the paperback cover is pretty gorgeous:
Peter, Helen and their teenage children, Clara and Rowan, live in an English town. They are an everyday family, averagely dysfunctional, averagely content. But as their children have yet to find out, the Radleys have a devastating secret
From one of Britain’s finest young novelists comes a razor-sharp unpicking of adulthood and family life. In this moving, thrilling and extraordinary portrait of one unusual family, The Radleys asks what we grow into when we grow up, and explores what we gain – and lose – when we deny our appetites.
The paperback version is now available, but you can win a copy of BOTH versions plus some other cool prizes just by commenting on this post! You can get other chances to win by visiting other stops on The Radleys Blog Tour, too!
Each Friday, we will select one person who commented on all participating blogs for that week to win a prize. The winner will be announced each Monday on Helen and Rowan’s twitter accounts @Helen_Radley and @rowanradley and in the next Monday’s blogger’s post.
The prize will be a copy of THE RADLEYS in both hardcover and paperback signed by author Matt Haig and some blood-red hot chocolate.
I just searched for and read last year’s posts on The Radleys. Your review made me chuckle.
That would be Stephanie’s review … I’m posting mine later today, and had a slightly different view than she did. (I found it MUCH more YA-friendly than she did …)
Thanks for the spotlight! The new paperback is just lovely.

Gah, the new paperback cover is gorgeous. I was always more of a fan of the “teen” U.K. edition, but this one is beeeeautiful. I may actually have to settle down and read it now. ;-D
