A lovely review of @tayari's instant NY Times bestseller Kin in the @DailyMail today! 

'Jones's writing is conversational, funny and brimful of sympathy for her characters and their faults, foibles and steadfast, heartfelt feelings....sisterly friendship glows from the page.'

In response to a snowball fight: Detective Endowment Association President Scott Munro said. “Make no mistake: detectives will do what they always do. They will identify those involved, and they will apprehend them.”

But not when it comes to trafficking & abusing young girls for over a decade?

Congrats!! Best of luck!

Eating Ashes by the multi-award-winning author Brenda Navarro, reviewed in the @NewYorker: “This is a book that treats its characters and incidents seriously and—at its best—ruthlessly.”
@englishpen.bsky.social @oneworldbooks.bsky.social

Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."

Brenda Navarro, author of Eating Ashes, in conversation with Silvia Quin Rothlisberger hosted by @cervanteslondon.bsky.social @oneworldnews.bsky.social

'A visionary work… Lubrin takes one of the most brutal legal documents of the colonial era and transforms it into an audacious work of literary resistance… [It] is not simply a response to history but an insistence on its unfinished reckoning.' 
@voicemaguk.bsky.social @oneworldbooks.bsky.social

It’s Oneworld’s 40th this year too!

What a great idea.

Please do share.
