Another fascinating thread from @sarasheridan.bsky.social - author of the thoroughly immersive and poignant novel On Starlit Seas
Today, a 🧵about intrepid traveller & writer Maria Graham. I was 1st attracted to her when I read her childhood memoir. She was bullied at school for refusing to conform. Her father, a naval captain, was absent. Her mum too. She was a brave kid. /1 @hodderbooks.bsky.social @hodderfiction.bsky.social

Fans of history and CHOCOLATE, indulge in this fascinating thread from @sarasheridan.bsky.social about the history of chocolate which inspired her novel On Starlit Seas!

You can read or listen to On Starlit Seas here: www.waterstones.com/book/on-star...
Today a 🧵about the real-life history of chocolate in my novel On Starlit Seas. My interest in Maria Graham ran alongside this👇Cacao. In the 1820s chocolate was changing. Danish/Dutch investors copped they cd grow this valuable crop in Africa instead of S America to cut costs /1

Borderlines is a highly original book charting Baston's “journeys of discovery” to European borders, from Ireland to Ukraine. Rich in history & memorable anecdotes, this is an ambitious attempt to describe Europe's glorious complexity. @hodderbooks.bsky.social

Review: The Raven Scholar by Antonia Hodgson
The Raven Scholar is one of those insanely ambitious, charmingly chaotic, and uniquely unconventional stories that has absolutely zero business working as well as it does, and yet it absolutely soars....
