‘It is impossible to tell you how much I loved m ‘It is impossible to tell you how much I loved my father. When he was sitting close to me on my bunk I would reach out and slide my hand into his, and then he would fold his long fingers around my fist, holding it tight.’ Danny the Champion of the World, Roald Dahl. Happy Father’s Day! ♥️ | Illustration 📷 @quentinblakehq | #Bookstoker

See link in bio for our review of The Safekeep, Yael van der Wouden’s mesmerising debut of displacement and desire, and a compelling exploration of a lesser known episode in Dutch wartime history.

See also, The Story of a Heart by Rachel Clarke, a remarkable testament to love, altruism and modern medicine.
