Mary’s fate had she been living in 2023. Think about that this Christmas.
🚨Israel shot 4 pregnant women raising white flags on their way to al-Awda hospital, IDF bulldozers ran over them! They were left to rot in the sun in an area held by Israel for over 2 weeks. Dozens of decomposing & mutilated bodies were discovered today in Tal al-Zaatar…
Nothing would make us happier than seeing all of your faces at Frankie Murrey’a launch of her collection of stories. And we need you to make us happy because these stories are gut wrenching 🥺 brilliant, melancholic, lyrical. A must read. Remember to RSVP to [email protected]
ERIKA, the best Writersports volunteer EVER. #OBF2023 @OpenBookFest
Some of the teams at the @letterhead_is Literary Quiz after the second round (Fill in the blank… and Books were the first two!)
We couldn't agree more! We are so proud of these two and so happy that Mervyn managed to drag Frankie on stage.
Working with Mervyn and Frankie has been an absolute honor. And getting to watch them on stage discussing Frankie's book - an unforgettable treat! Plus, the book is REALLY good.
