Man holding a copy of βChopping Onions on my Heartβ by Samantha Ellis
π it has been a soul-warning experience reading @samanthaellis.bsky.socialβs account of her ongoing relationship with her language and culture as an Iraqi Jew.
π For such a brisk read it covers enough ground in such rich detail that you will feel, as I did, deepened and delightfully surprised.
Thank you - what a lovely thing to say. Iβm so glad you enjoyed the book.
