Just finished this extraordinary novel by @louisekennedy.bsky.social I don’t normally read books set in Belfast during the Troubles, as I lived through it. But the story and the writing are both exceptional. Book 1 of 2026. #books #reading #booksky

The most stressed out I've ever been about Christmas was when I was 16 and I got my first ever job, working at M&S in Dundrum. As soon as I started I kept hearing these myths about the Christmas Eve Waste Sale, where all the food that wasn't sold on the 24th was marked down 90%.
