It’s the kind of book you wish you’d written: loads of fireworks, great stories for classroom and the dinner table, and some very sharp questions about the nature of sovereignty and political power. And crocheting!

Electric atmosphere tonight at @UniLeiden! Great speaking to students and to hear their expectations, concerns and hopes about the Europe they want to see. Let’s keep this conversation going. 🇪🇺🇳🇱
