This powerful memoir by @jennashworth captures so viscerally how trauma can immobilize and derail the present, and is so innovative and expansive in its exploration of all that fiction can’t convey.

Testament by @kimtsherwood has left me moved and impressed and covetous of her exquisite prose. Such a nuanced and intelligent excavation of generational trauma. Will resonate in my thoughts for a while to come.

Loved #BlackCarBurning by @HelenMort. Such stunning evocation of the urban & natural landscapes around Sheffield, and compassionate insight into the complexities of human relationships, trauma and trust.
