Thank you so much for saying so. It's really interesting, seeking out individuals in various periods of history who have their own story; too often the personal gets lost in the political, and one of my aims is to redress that balance.

This novel is close to my heart, as it deals with issues around belonging, immigration, and the truths about ourselves that are too painful to disclose.

Opinion | I’m the Prime Minister of Spain. This Is Why the West Needs Migrants.

Why Spain is breaking the mold in Europe -
choosing regularisation instead of MAGA mass deportations!!

Two reasons: morality & pragmatism.

So glad you like it - thank you for telling me so! It's always nice to hear what people think.

No, it's not out yet. It's a story for a collection I'm putting together, each about someone who has to move far from their home. I'm hoping to self-publish, but it will be a while yet before it's ready.

I think sometimes that people who seek to "divide and conquer" are more vocal, more determined to thrust their opinions on us. But in every place, and every time, there have been people quietly getting on with each other. I like to hope that such people are in the majority!
