How to Say Babylon | Safiya Sinclair

Pickpick

If this wasn‘t shortlisted for the #womensprizeNF I wouldn‘t have been in a rush to read it but I‘m so glad it was as it‘s such a poignantly and beautifully written memoir. I loved listening to the author read her story herself. Brilliant 🖤 #nonfiction2024 (Born a Crime)

I was thinking of this book even when I wasn‘t reading it. I love that the author uses the cloth as a starting point to write about/give us perspectives from people who couldn‘t always leave a record of their lives/feelings. It will definitely stay with me. #womensprizeNF #nonfiction2024 (The Bluest Eye)

My current #audio
Really interesting and a lot more accessible than I expected.

#WomensPrizeNF

squirrelbrain I really liked this and agree with you - I didn‘t expect it to be so accessible. 6mo
youneverarrived I‘m finishing up How to say Babylon on audio then this will be my next listen - glad to hear it‘s an accessible read 👍 5mo
Leniverse @youneverarrived I was worried it would be dry and technical, but it is very much about the people 5mo

squirrelbrain Hi Katie, we‘re still planning a York bookshop crawl on 22nd June. If you‘d like to come just drop me an email with your phone number and I‘ll add you to the WhatsApp group. If you don‘t still have my email let me know. 😘 6mo
youneverarrived @squirrelbrain Thanks Helen, I‘ve pencilled it in 🩷 I‘m a part of the Gladstones group from when a few of us did a buddy read a while back, is it the same group? If it‘s a different one I can email you as I‘ve still got your email. 6mo
squirrelbrain I should be able to find you then! I‘ll have a look tomorrow and if not, I‘ll let you know. 6mo

A lot of the things Klein writes about in this book are things I find really interesting to read about (and ponder) so this was right up my street. It‘s a hard one to narrow down and review but I‘m glad it seems to be a book a lot of people are interested in as it would be great if more people were aware of what she writes about here. #womensprizeNF

I can see why this book has made (and won) so many prize lists—complex and affecting. Audiobook was very well done, but it was nice to have the print edition handy for the photos.

#WomensPrizeNF

ChaoticMissAdventures Agreed! I am finishing this today and I get both audio and physical from the library the photos added a lot to the whole picture. 8mo
