'A Flat Place' by Noreen Masud - Shortlisted for the Women's Prize for Non-Fiction

'Nightbloom' by Peace Medie - Longlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction

#Nightbloom by Peace Medie. The 9th book I’ve read on the Women's Prize fiction longlist. This is a truly amazing book. 15/10 (yes) & I loved everything about it. The audiobook is sensational & it’s the first time in my life I’ve gone for an extra run to hear more of the story.

Welcome to my review of Women's Prize longlisted #Nightbloom by Peace Medie
