Late to the party, but I'm breaking my mid-edit social media exile to declare @mserinkelly.bsky.social's House of Mirrors a straight up BANGER. If you've read The Poison Tree - and even if you haven't! Though you should - it's an absolute treat. Biba! Karen! Rex! Classic EK twists! 10/10 no notes 🏠🪞

This has been shared many times, but is worth sharing again.
It is reflective, clear-sighted, focused on the ordinary and the matter of fact, on what it is possible to perhaps encompass. And is immensely moving as a result.

I'm reposting this piece I wrote for The Observer about my father and dementia...and spoons. The conversations I've had since publication with other carers has been very moving. Perhaps if you're a carer you will find some solace in these words:
