A reminder: books are very easy to wrap (and you can, controversially, sneak a wee taste as you wrap and nobody will know - unlike taking a bit of their cheese).
What a brilliant book about two artists I knew nothing about. These two men felt so real to me and I’m so pleased that Damian Barr brought them to life again and told their story.

Day 9 of Bertvent done!

FOREIGN FRUIT is a beautiful memoir from Katie Goh which uses the journey and cultivation of a single fruit – the orange – to reckon with her identity and unpack themes of globalisation, colonialism and migration
