Another amazing interview!
You are the best!!
Another wonderful interview! 👏👏👏
Excellent event!!!!!
thank you for your frank discussion on the price of addiction and your return to the life you were meant to live as a writer once you began your recovery.
Great interview!
Thank you to everyone who tuned in! I had a wonderful time on Junction Reads!
Oh how wonderful, Hannah. I've just finished reading 'Look After Her' yesterday, and loved it so very much. What a treat to hear you read from it. I gleaned so much insight into how extensive your research was. As you spoke about yourself feeling what Hedy and Susannah felt, I also felt myself going through it all with them - this is how extraordinarily to life you brought them. There was a bittersweet (agrodolce) sadness to have it come to an end, but it ended perfectly. I look forward to reading it again. Well-done!!
thanks for this, Junction Reads!
