How exciting! I have both hardbacks (UK and US) of "The Secrets of Hartwood Hall", and have pre-ordered from Blackwell's "The Trouble with Mrs. Montgomery Hurst".🧡
It’s impossible not to be excited over this new novel; its beautiful cover design, map, and descriptive TOC is very inviting! I am so pleased for you, Katie, and will read this book just as soon as I can lay my hands on it. Thanks, too, for this thoughtful video and the free give-away offers. You’re very generous.
I'm glad you have a character list. Some of the books that I've read by Dickens included character lists (one line) with no spoilers. Some of the publishers didn't include this. In Bleak House, I did a search and was trying to be careful but still found out information that was more than I should have known. I'm currently reading Dombey and Son, but have your first book on my TBR.
I got over excited thinking the new novel was coming out in paperback straight away, but looking online I see it's the hardback out in July. Wishful thinking on my part, only because I prefer a paperback! Congratulations on the new novel 😊😊x
A map! I do love a book that starts with a map. An added reason to look forward to this.
I am so excited for this book! It's starting to pop up in the database of my local bookstore so hopefully I can order it there soon.
Stunning cover of your new book!

Loving the look, will for sure be preordering the paperback from Blackwell's. Your excitement opening the proofs was palpable.

I'm in the US and have preordered this from Blackwells. I'm so excited to read it - the books look lovely! Congratulations.
Such a lovely cover
Stunning cover 😍 I can’t wait to read it!
It looks amazing Katie! I have my copy preordered and I can't wait
Congratulations Katie! I have pre-ordered it - from Amazon Australia, to be shipped to me in NZ! Looking forward to reading it in October or November.
Congratulations Katie on your book release, I absolutely love the cover and I can't wait to get my hands on a copy to read!

I love character lists in classics, but yes, Dickens ones often have a lot of spoilers in!
Congratulations Katie.🎉
This was such an exciting video Katie! I cannot wait to read this one, the cover and inside contents look awesome (I love when maps are included) :D.
Hi Katie, this is very exciting!, I also love a map!
Ooh a giant spine ❤ A map! Dramatis Personae 😊 Very much looking forward to reading this Katie x
Such a giant spine 😅 It's not Victorian-length, but it's a bit on the longer side!
Those proof copies are gorgeous! 😍
I hope you get an American publisher, but even if you don't, pre-ordering your book was EASY and only $21. Can't wait to read it!!!
One day, maybe - we shall see.
@@katiejlumsden Perhaps when the BBC turns it into a series. PBS will be all over that and the public will then demand it. 🙂
Would love to participate in the giveaway, sent the email ❤️
SUPER excited for this one!! July can't come soon enough!
Thanks so much :)
I really love the cover! Looking forward to reading this!❤
Lovely 🌹

Yes, it's out in hardback first - the proof is just paperback. It'll be out in paperback probably in early 2025 :)
It has a map! ❤❤❤
👏👏👏👏👏
I am reading Haven by Emma Donoghue at the moment and I must say, it lacks a map.
Is it coming to Canada?
I don't have a US/Canadian publisher - Blackwells are a UK bookshop that ship internationally, so that may be your best bet.
Ohhh it is so beautiful!! I am soo excited. Monty 🥹😍
