Congratulations, @MiraHarrison4 ! Such a great book and such a lovely evening 🥂🍾📚❤️
Absolutely over the moon to launch ONE IN THREE at Hornsey Library last night! Thanks to @RMSmithAuthor, Dr George Smerdon & Prof Sohier El Neil for your inspiring contributions & for the audience interest in my debut novel. @CullandCoAgency @BookGuild
Thank you so much! I’m so pleased. Thank you 💐
I loved Conversations with an Octopus 🐙 by Rebecca Smith.
Wonderful sense of place - a typical British seaside town, the WI who have hidden depths and an octopus! What more could you want?

What a great celebration last night of the A Portrait of Care exhibition @JHansardGallery
Brilliant to have so many people with care or estrangement experience, professionals working in this space, and allies in one room.
