I still can’t believe this is true. If you’re curious, the paperback is out. A huge thanks to everyone who’s been in touch with kind words and congratulations. I’m deeply moved and honoured that my words are helping so many readers think about how to build a just future for all life on earth.

Archives abandoned the use of gloves many years ago. Look at the websites of the National Archives or most other archives and they explain why.

Stunned and honoured by where my love letter to life living has reached. My profound thanks to everyone who made it possible: from beloveds who roared with me without reading a word, to the readers and judges who so kindly did, and found it worthwhile. I’m delighted to be in such company.
