Free: A Child and a Country at the End of History
Lea Ypi
This book has twists in it, and feints, and foreshadowing... Her characters and scenes, though non-fictitious, are skilfully dramatised, and her writing is precise, acute, often funny and always accessible. Yet Free remains, throughout, the serious book that she set out to write.

Minds of Winter
Ed O'Loughlin
Tim McTiernan, Ireland's honorary consul in Toronto, took my novel Minds of Winter on a pilgrimage to its spiritual home, the Franklin Expedition graves on Beechey Island in the high Arctic. I tried to get there myself in 2018, but was shipwrecked in the NW Passage (true story). https://t.co/YEGeTrlMQO
