My top ten reads of 2024.
@clairemitchell.bsky.social The Ghost Limb was the most impactful read of the year and gave context for my life.
Malcolm Guite gave permission to use imagination as a much needed source for truth.
Joan Baez was a refreshing story of faith, activism, music and confidence.

Untangling my family tree today. A mixed P/C family 200 years ago, living in Sailortown, Belfast.

One brother marries a Protestant, another brother marries a Catholic.

2 generations on, P kids in the Shankill, C kids in Ardoyne.

Piecing together meeting points; working out who's my cousin :)

I've been doing that Irish thing of being too embarrassed to say hello, would you like my book?

It's The Ghost Limb: Alternative Protestants and the Spirit of 1798. A tribe of 20 modern day northern dissenters go walking around the sites of 1798, asking what this politics could mean for today.

I send my thoughts and prayers to everyone over the weekend who has to explain over and over again why getting in on the 8th count means no less than being elected on the 1st or 2nd.
