‘You see a lady sitting there and she’s not doing ‘You see a lady sitting there and she’s not doing anything and you tend to forget that of course she wasn’t always a little old lady. There’s all this coloured stuff inside her, it’s all inside, bubbling.’ Remembering the wonderful Judith Kerr, writer, illustrator, and creator of the beloved Mog the cat series and The Tiger Who Came to Tea (14th June 1923- 22nd May 2019) | 📷 @nationalportraitgallery | #Bookstoker #bornthisday #childrensclassics #famouswriters #judithkerr #literaryicons #mogthecat #nationalportraitgallery #thetigerwhocametotea

June Reads 🌷A novel of doomed love in 1920s Berlin June Reads 🌷A novel of doomed love in 1920s Berlin, Madonna in a Fur Coat by Sabahattin Ali is a Turkish treasure. It tells the story of Raif, an introspective and solitary young man who leaves Turkey for the bright lights of Weimar Berlin. In this city of flourishing intellectual and cultural freedoms, he encounters Maria, an enigmatic artist who will come to transform his melancholic life. Told in two parts by an unnamed narrator, we follow Raif’s journey of discovery, as the free-thinking Maria challenges his notions of romantic love, gender roles, and self-reliance. See link in bio for our review of Ali’s haunting tale of love and destiny. | 📷 @penguinclassics | #Bookstoker #bookswelove #litfic #madonnainafurcoat #penguinclassics #readthisbook #sabahatti̇nali̇ #turkishliterature
