📚 🥰 The The Malta Book Festival ’25 may be over, but the memories remain!

🏆 💥 One particularly memorable element of this year’s edition was having Booker Prize winner Samantha Harvey as a special guest.

💬 🌍 Newsbook had the opportunity to speak to the acclaimed British novelist about her trajectory and process, and the inspiration behind the scintillating novel that changed her career – and life – forever: Orbital.

👇🏻 Read the article and watch the video interview below 👇🏻

Booker Prize winner Samantha Harvey has revealed that her first novel, written in her mid-twenties while living in Japan, will never see publication, describing it as "naive and amateurish" despite her fondness for the work that launched her writing career.

Organised by the National Book Council (NBC), this year’s edition of the Malta Book Festival, which took place at the Malta Fairs and Conventions Centre (MFCC), Ta’ Qali between 5-9 November, attracted a record number of visitors amounting to roughly 40,000 people at the event across its five-day run.

This surge in numbers can be partly attributed to the successful implementation of a newly-revamped voucher scheme, a Budgetary measure which has now been confirmed for next year, and which offered a €20 voucher for all primary and secondary school students, to be redeemed against book purchases at the Festival.
