Following her critically acclaimed debut NEON IN DAYLIGHT, Hermione Hoby’s sophomore novel, VIRTUE, has received two stellar endorsements. THE SCIENTISTS author Marco Roth raves: “In pearlescent prose, Hermione Hoby presents the struggles of a creative class caught between beauty and duty, on the eve of its dissolution.” Meanwhile, TRICK MIRROR author Jia Tolentino calls the book “both a sumptuous portrait of all-consuming attraction and a compassionate indictment of shallow social conscience. I loved this novel, and sank deep into its radiance and rot.” Literary Hub has also named VIRTUE as one of its “Most Anticipated Books of 2021.” Riverhead Books will publish the novel on July 20, 2021.
