Hodder takes two new novels from Broom  

Hodder & Stoughton has snapped up two new novels from Isabelle Broom.  

Publisher Kimberley Atkins bought world English language rights, including audio, from Hannah Ferguson at Hardman & Swainson. The first novel, The Summer Trip, is scheduled to be published in June 2022. The second, as yet untitled, novel will be published in summer 2023.  

The Summer Trip tells the story of Ava, who, after 18 years away, returns to Corfu for a life-changing summer. 

"I am absolutely thrilled to have signed two new books from Isabelle Broom for Hodder," Atkins said. "Isabelle is an incredible writer of destination escapist fiction – these are perfect books to read if you’re on holiday or longing to be! Isabelle gets better with every book, and I can’t wait for readers to fall in love with The Summer Trip in 2022." 

Broom commented: "My dream has always been for my novels to become as essential a holiday item as flips-flops and sun cream, and I feel incredibly privileged to be in a position to pursue it alongside the incredible team at Hodder. The Summer Trip has everything a good beach read should – a stunning location, evocative descriptions, sizzling sexual tension, a colourful cast of characters, and a simmering pot of dangerous secrets – and I can’t wait for readers to get their hands on a copy."
