The second novel by Exeter’s Dr Julie Maxwell, Fellow in English, was released in paperback last week. These Are Our Children was publised in paperback by Quercus Books on 6 March.
One in five confirmed pregnancies end in miscarriage. One in ten babies will spend time in a neonatal unit. These sensitive subjects form the heart of Julie Maxwell’s novel.
Craig Raine described the novel as “A remarkable book … elegantly written, intricately and plausibly plotted with some stunning surprises.”
Dr Maxwell’s first novel, You Can Live Forever, was published in 2007; it won a Betty Trask Award and was Book of the Month on BBC Radio Five Live.
