I recently had the pleasure and privilege to translate Nathacha Appanah's 'La mémoire délavée'. She is a wonderful writer. I am delighted she has now received this accolade: www.lemonde.fr/culture/arti...
Avec Nathacha Appanah, le prix Femina couronne une œuvre habitée par la question des origines, de la violence et de l’enfermement
L’écrivaine mauricienne, née en 1973, est distinguée pour son treizième livre, « La Nuit au cœur », une enquête bouleversante sur les violences conjugales.

Congratulations to Dame Sarah Mullally DBE on her historic appointment as the Archbishop of Canterbury.

As Bishop of London for the past seven years, she has shown remarkable leadership and dedication to our city - I know she’ll continue this vital work in her new role.
