Excited for the new year and the publication of my new novel Rose & Renzo, an unlikely love story set in the Little Italy district of Manchester in 1936, against the backdrop of rising fascism. If you’re a historical fiction fan, do look out for it - publishing in May.
Exactly! Thank you so much.

This is going to be such a good read next year! Rose & Renzo by Carolyn O’Brien is set in Manchester in the 1930s with fascism on the rise. Frighteningly relevant! And O’Brien’s writing is gorgeous

@footymac.bsky.social Hi, I am a historical novelist, and my forthcoming novel has been hugely inspired by an episode you write about in your book Blood and Power. I would really like to ask you a question and wondered if your Bristol Uni email is the best way to contact you? Many thanks
