The Disappearance of Lydia Harvey
Julia Laite
So honoured that The Disappearance of Lydia Harvey won The ALCS Gold Dagger for Non-Fiction @The_CWA last night. The book began with the conviction that a nobody of a girls' story was worth telling. I'm so grateful that @louisaclaire_d, my editor @ProfileBooks agreed. https://t.co/rLmCjswGtr

Thomas Cauvin
@greg_jenner Honestly, any public history text book that claimed You're Dead To Me wasn't legit would have a hard time convincing me it understood what good public history was! Luckily, Thomas Cauvin definitely does :)
