I have never cried, laughed, or been angered so much at a book as I was with #Ootlin . @Jenni_Fagan is the queen of writing about harrowing things with such hope and beauty and magic - easily my book of the year, probably the decade. ❤️

So many great Scottish women writers in this thread, my top three Jessie Kesson, Agnes Owen’s & @Jenni_Fagan so many others I love here 💚💜

Bravo @Jenni_Fagan.
