Publication day! It's a dream come true to see my debut novel published, and I am so glad it's this one, the story I've been wanting to tell for so long. This is for every little girl who's been told she's not enough because she's female and every little girl who hasn't made it.

During Hanukkah, a coalition of settler groups funded by the state of Israel held a conference to discuss a “practical” plan to build the first settlements in Gaza, all while the Israeli government is actively waging a genocidal war on Palestinians. THIS is ethnic cleansing.

I'm a cover girl! With thanks to @shereadsdotcom for the spotlight. Read, share, have a wonderful weekend! https://t.co/9gfWNfkTXL

Upcoming writers, repeat after me: Other authors are not a threat. Their success does not diminish yours. Their popularity does not affect your chance of being read. The more the author community thrives, the better your chance to do so.

Amazing thread from @pronounced_ing . So grateful for teachers and parents who never limited my reading but did the exact opposite. Reading has so often made unbearable moments beautiful for me, been a light in the literal darkness (probably why I now need glasses...)

And it's here! Seven months since the launch of The Daughters of Madurai, I'm thrilled to reveal the GORGEOUS paperback cover, hitting shelves in February 2024! It's been an absolute ride of a debut year, and so amazing to hit this next milestone ❤️ @orionbooks

So glad you enjoyed The Daughters of Madurai!

I so enjoyed talking to the lovely @KateSawyer about #TheDaughtersofMadurai and the rollercoaster ride from early-morning scribbler with a dream to debut author!

Opposing Netanyahu’s extremist Govt (as millions of Israelis are) doesn’t make you anti-Semitic Opposing Iran’s Govt doesn’t make you Islamophobic Opposing Modi’s Govt doesn’t make you anti-Hindu Opposing Sunak’s Govt doesn’t make you anti-British It’s all about what they do

Jewish person here. This is total BS & designed to delegitimise the criticism & activism, sow more hatred, & justify more violence & injustice. I was on the march with my children. It was an incredible multicultural, multigenerational collective show of solidarity & hope.

I’m on Baker Street. Finally. Recognition for the guy.

I never watched rugby, then I married an Irishman and now... Siya Kolisi. What a man. World leaders, take note.
