Godfrey Bonavia is the author of Paraphernalia, a collection of short works where suspense meets tenderness and myth brushes the everyday. His stories turn ordinary objects, bells, brooches, buses, leaves, into something quietly seismic truths.
Known for clear, humane prose and endings that linger, Bonavia writes about place, memory, and the choices that shape us. His work suits readers who want literary depth with page-turning momentum and book clubs that love rich discussion. When he’s not writing, he’s mapping scenes, walking the coastline, and collecting fragments that become stories.
Paraphernalia is available in hardcover, paperback, ebook, and audiobook.
