Book Highlight | The Memory Police by Yoko Ogawa |
2022 has been the year of great literary discoveries - an introduction to Asian sci-fi/ dystopian fiction has been a revelation! Yoko Ogawa's 'The Memory Police' plays out like a disconcerting dream, as you traverse the landscape of language, memory and the trauma associated with loss. A deeply thought provoking and affecting fable - with Orwellian undertones - that is as relevant as it ever will be. |

Pick Up Limes |
"Meet Sadia Badiei, a Canadian foodie and Dietetics graduate." 'Pick Up Limes' is so much more than just a YouTube channel that champions a vegan diet. Sadia also chronicles her life - with all the ups and downs in tow - as she navigates her way across continents and ultimately decides to settle in the Netherlands. There's passion, romance and a very real struggle that serves as an inspiration to many who subscribe to the channel. |
