'Just like that I lost my girls': the mother who feels betrayed by the family courts after her girls were taken away 6 years ago and never returned. Expert evidence in her case was overturned last year by the high court yet her situation has not improved. tinyurl.com/332hn232
Moved to return to Twitter to repost this really important story - we need to hear more from the children who survive forced transfers of residence by the family courts.

It’s rare that we get to hear directly from the young people caught in the middle of family court disputes. So it was a privilege to interview Dylan* about his six-year separation from his mother after an unregulated psychologist advised she'd 'alienated' him from his father. 🧵

A 'great roar of a book' Fantastic review of @LaraFeigel CUSTODY by Kathryn Hughes @WmCollinsBooks

(1/5) We want to take a moment to mark the release of @LaraFeigel’s new book, Custody: The Secret History of Mothers — a powerful work that brings child custody out of the shadows and into public conversation.

Congratulations @LaraFeigel - CUSTODY is out today! 🧑🍼
We think that our children belong to us, but families are fragile things...
This book is of urgent interest to anyone concerned with women’s roles in the world and how institutions fail them.

Huge kudos to @LaraFeigel who has fought to have her book about the family courts published in the face of constraints from the very system she is holding up to scrutiny. Looking forward to reading my copy! tinyurl.com/wnk2wxma

I reviewed @JuliaArmfield 's incandescent, v moving, v watery new novel, which finds a way to imagine climate crisis without being apocalyptic (and is a v clever take on Lear)
Private Rites by Julia Armfield review – in deep water theguardian.com/books/articl…
'By tangling explicitly with reality across mediums she pushes autofiction to new limits, revealing how good this genre is at questioning reality. How can the narrator make her own peculiarities part of a lived life?'
I fell for Miranda July.

'It’s an American energy – expansive, new, full of power, pleasure, change and motion; a frontier energy, even when she’s writing about New York. We can hear Whitman behind her, and Emerson.'
I think through Maggie Nelson (again!) reviewing Like Love

This is fun! In which @danhartland takes my book as a model for rather fascinating personal critical flights of his own…
What's all this criticism for? In the latest Snap! Criticism, @danhartland takes a look at Lara Feigel's LOOK! WE HAVE COME THROUGH (@BloomsburyPub) and Nina Allan's CONQUEST (@HachetteUK):
