A quiet war rages over this book. On one side is the fact that the literary establishment act like it doesn't exist, it has zero influential media pals and its Amazon sales rank makes it look like a shipwreck. On the other are the readers who tell me stuff like this about it every day.
I just finished reading this. It is the first time, I think, that I have ever read anything that is both whimsical and devastating. I love it, and I cried a lot at the end.

It is a central part of so-called Gender Critical ideology [far right transphobia] to deny that LGBTQ people were victims of the Holocaust. So accounts of the tens of thousands of Queer ppl who were incarcerated, persecuted or murdered are vital.
Holocaust denial is vile & a far right signifier.

Attempting to sew during this dark side of the year is tough, the light is only really good for a few hours and then it becomes harder to see 🧐 hence my scowl of concentration as I add some contrasting strands to this wig.
