Our latest literary travel guide is focused on... Edinburgh! We asked Maggie O’Farrell, the author of “Hamnet,” to suggest reading that best reflects her city. “The city that’s been my home for 12 years has always been defined by its dualities and contrasts,” O’Farrell writes. “The elegant Georgian symmetry of the New Town’s squares are divided from the twisting, dark alleyways of the medieval Old Town by the deep-cut gully of Princes Street Gardens. There’s an 11-month stretch of the year when Edinburgh is a relatively sedate, quiet city, and then there’s the roller-coaster ride of August when the whole place becomes an all-hours, hedonistic frenzy of Fringe shows, mime acts, jugglers and street food. Some residents cower indoors until it’s all over; others cash in and ship out, renting their places to festival goers. I like to see as many surreal and inventive shows as I can.” Tap the link in our bio to learn more about Maggie O’Farrell’s Edinburgh reading list. 🎨: @raphaellemacaron
