Book 1 / 2025
Neneh Cherry - A Thousand Threads
Absolutely loved this book. Not only fascinating & beautifully written but a perfect evocation of womanhood as a daughter, friend, girlfriend, wife, mother - but also as a person and artist + body, heart, soul, feeling joy & pain. So much resonated!

Lovely to meet you. I’ve just joined. I’m a writer too, of music books!
For those who don’t know
me but are new here, I’m the author of 29 books. My newest, BY ANY OTHER NAME, is about how women have been judged differently from
men for over 400 years. (Sound familiar??) Oh, and my novel NINETEEN MINUTES is THE most banned book in America right now. 🎉
