Mariana Villa-Gilbert and A Jingle Jangle Song

And then came A Jingle Jangle Song. When Mariana sat down to write A Jingle Jangle Song, there had been about 46,000 British novels published in her lifetime. So A Jingle Jangle Song was part of an important new trend in queer women writing about the characters like themselves. When A Jingle Jangle Song was published, male reviewers blasted it for … not appealing to men. A Jingle Jangle Song by Mariana Villa-Gilbert is available once again in paperback from 29 January 2026, both online and in bookshops.
