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

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

Many thanks @lauwo_g_lauwo for journeying alongside with me. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’œ
