I’d love you to join us online next week. We’re getting together to discuss my book and its engagement with wider issues of writing #grief #babyloss #miscarriage #maternity. If you make a donation to reserve a place, proceeds go to baby loss charity Held In Our Hearts: mybodymybookclub.com#nextbook
A promotional flyer for the book club event, with the cover of my book (a white silhouette of a baby in a blue painted circle) and details: Thursday 6 February 18:30-19:30. There’s a photo of me as I’ll be joining in as a “special guest”! (I’m afraid it’s a screenshot from Instagram so it says you can book via link in the book club’s bio, but the booking link is in the main body of my post.)

The review is accessible for free online at the link my post A pull-quote extract from the review, which reads “Norwood’s book is a testimony to the power of creative writing in health care. We can read strategies, research papers, toolkits, and guidelines but it is stories like Gabriel’s that help us appreciate how families feel, how staff should respond, and how we can widen our understanding while improving our own practice.”
