Just finished the extraordinary #NoBoysPlayHere by @SallyBayley1. Seems to me she’s invented a new form, blending gritty memoir with the fantastical, through the prism of Shakespearean drama. Humorous & heartbreaking by turn. Bravo.
Today @MonikaClass & @N_A_Anderson are looking forward to participating & presenting virtually at this exciting event on #readerreception #bookhistory #bookstudies ies.sas.ac.uk/events/confere…

It’s memoir, fiction, whimsy, heartbreaking fact & an exquisite literary original. No Boys Play Here by ⁦@SallyBayley1⁩ deserves all the prizes &, since it swoops across so many genres, it shd be up for scores of them. My book of the year and I don’t care it’s only February
