Celebrating our Foundry Editions bestsellers of the year! 

Looking back at the enthusiastic response to Just a Little Dinner, we wanted to thank you all for your wonderful support, book (and accompanying meal) photos and reviews! Here are some of our favourites. 💙🍝

‘I devoured this absorbing, atmospheric story. Taking place over the course of a single evening in a stifling apartment, it suits being read in as few sittings as possible.’ - @sharkybookshelf arkybookshelf

‘I read this on holiday, and I can practically still feel the sticky heat of both the holiday AND the sense of sweaty claustrophobia evoked by this oppressive, shocking story about a group of friends having dinner together in the sweltering heat of a Parisian summer. Secrets, fragmented relationships, and revelations... I wolfed this down in a matter of hours. Highly recommended!’ - @thebookhive

‘I was so impressed by the sharp writing and the crisp translation - such a compelling, high-stakes novella that I flew through.’ - @gabrielas_goodreads

‘This is the kind of book you could read all in a single sitting if you have time…what starts as an exploration of the banality & mundanity of the everyday ends with a climactic unravelling of structures, all set in true french huis clos style against the backdrop of a parisian evening dinner party with four guests. it’s a suffocating & tense read that makes you realise that it’s always easier to stay holding on than to fall apart.’ - @tillydaisym

‘a slim read that is deceptively dense, packed with so many gorgeous sentences. a sticky toffee pudding of a book.’ - @sillylilbooks
