Exciting news! A Splintering by Dur e Aziz Amna has been chosen as a BBC Radio 2 bookclub book in their summer selection. An unforgettable story of motherhood, obsession and ambition, it's a fiercely compelling novel charting a woman's ascent from rural poverty to a dangerously free life in the city

I was very kindly sent a copy of @paulmmcooper.bsky.social Fall of Civilisations by @duckworthbooks.bsky.social which was published in paperback a few weeks ago. The depth and breadth of the research for this book, which is on a global scale is phenomenal… #fallofcivilisations

Very excited to announce that Fall of Civilizations has been named a "Book of the month" by Blackwell's bookshop.
