So exhausting..

The Testaments, Margaret Atwood: “‘Life is not about hair,” I said then, only half jocularly. Which is true, but it is also true that hair is about life. It is the flame of the body’s candle, and as it dwindles the body shrinks and melts away.’ What a brilliant writer!

@drnaomifisher.bsky.social I was so disappointed when reading your otherwise excellent book ‘Changing our minds’ that you keep calling England’s testing system ‘UK’. I live, work and brought up our children in Scotland - we have a different education system.

Isn’t this great??????? 😍

Another great review on the Waterstones website! Please, friends who’ve read my book, leave your own reviews somewhere? - Goodreads, Waterstones, Amazon etc. It really helps! It’s been encouraging to have so many positive responses to me in person; could you possibly make them public too?

Was it a good idea to attempt to make carrot cakes for 50 family-and-friends coming to my book celebration party? (If you’re one of them and there is No Cake to be seen do *not* say anything if we’re to remain on speaking terms.) Some of life’s stumbling stones are self-imposed… #book #writer

I’m trying really hard not to buy more books, honest - but I *had* to get this one. It has an important section on attachment by @suzannezeedyk.bsky.social and it features Third Culture Kids, which I also discuss in my memoir ‘Stumbling Stones: the Holocaust, my family and me’

What a wonderful review for ‘Stumbling Stones: the Holocaust, my family and me’. I feel seen, and understood
