In London and you need a copy of ‘Stumbling Stones: the Holocaust, my family and me’? Head for The Quaker Bookshop at The Quaker Centre Cafe, Euston Road. Treat yourself to a coffee and a browse through the shelves…
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?
I was wonderfully introduced by writer Alison Miller and read from the opening pages
I did! It all went well and almost all the cake was eaten :) It was grand to have so many friends turn out and they seemed to like my book too
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
I’d like to bring my memoir ‘Stumbling Stones: the Holocaust, my family and me’
My father’s family’s Stolpersteine, in Landshut. Now lovely and shiny! A young guy walking past thanked me for doing it and said it was important, especially ‘in these times’…
Hi, readers of @bigbeardedbookseller.com - I have just published my memoir ‘Stumbling Stones: the Holocaust, my family and me’. In previous times I wrote professional and academic books based in psychology. And now I’m working on book club fiction - switching genres keeps you on your toes, right?
My maternal grandmother, Mabel Kirkland, crocheted this blanket for me some sixty years ago. My memoir ‘Stumbling Stones: the Holocaust, my family and me’ focuses on my father’s family. I should write one about my mother’s Ashbourne family next
In deference / indifference - where are the editors when you want them? (Tap photo to read caption)
The best book I’ve read this year - hugely thought provoking, gripping, moving; beautifully written and illustrated with Richard Baker’s superb photos, Polly Morland pays homage to John Berger’s classic A fortunate man - and dare I say surpasses it?
My morning swim spot today, at Newark, Deerness, Orkney - cold but thankfully still. Had to get one in before Storm Whoever (can’t keep track) tomorrow…
The view from our rented flat where we enjoyed five days of the Leeds International Film Festival. Now to try to catch up on the writing!
Beautiful morning, on train after fine ferry crossing despite yesterday’s gale. Lots of kent faces on ferry and at station - Orkney/ Shetland travel at its best
