Paperback copy of Find a Way by Diana Nyad
Big cinema screen at the Royal Festival Hall with the words โBFI London Film Festival 2023โ on it
I was lucky enough to see Nyad at the London Film Festival. Itโs coming to Netflix next month & I would heartily recommend it if you love inspiring stories about overcoming the odds. Iโm in awe of Diana Nyad, her achievements, and determination so obviously had to buy her book!
12.10.2023 17:22 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0YesโฆI loved it! Like you, I was a bit unsure to start with but it grew into something beautiful
