Looking forward to the release of this new collection of Kurdish women’s writing, published by @uarkpress.bsky.social - Thanks Holly Mason Badra for bringing together writing from this broad range of voices from Kurdistan & the diaspora.

Reflecting on the books I read last year, one of my favourites was 'My Friends' by Hisham Matar. I found myself pausing on page after page to take in the gentle poetry of Matar's descriptions. The book is a beautiful exploration of the fragility of friendship in a context of exile.
