How I Read (Summer 2019)

EARLY PRAISE: Grateful for these early words from EARLY PRAISE: Grateful for these early words from Lauwo G Lauwo, author of FINELAND. ✨

There is something especially meaningful about being read in the spirit in which a book was written, and Lauwo’s response met this novel exactly there: in its family tensions, silences, betrayals, and attempts at repair.

His own novel (set in Finland) is forthcoming this September, 💃🏾 and I’m glad to share his words here with appreciation. 

Many thanks @lauwo_g_lauwo for journeying alongside with me. 🙏🏾💜
