St. Scolastica:10 Feb is her day, founder first Benedictine order of nuns, a woman ahead of her time. She has a hand in my 1949 Italy set novel Broken Madonna: mysterious visions of a young girl which lead to a reckoning with the haunting secrets of the past. bit.ly/3CJ7iEK #stscholastica

I did watch it and I think you make an excellent point!

First spot of Broken Madonna in my local library (Hove) by a friend! Feels very special, will be looking to see if it’s gone when I return my current loans! #Hove

Broken Madonna gets to some of the best places! So unexpected and what synchronicity after I’d just written about Broken Madonna being part of a Catholic moment. annalucia.co.uk/so/43PEi6Jg6...

So enjoyed talking miracles, shrines, the role of the church in #Italy post-WW2, whether I consider myself British or Italian and all aspects of publishing for writers, including the importance of finding your writing tribe. #brokenmadonna #histfic

A #Catholic moment? Saw Conclave packed Duke of Yorks #Brighton 2 weeks after launch my novel Broken Madonna there. Ralph Fiennes brilliant nuance. Power play & intrigue also at heart Broken Madonna but female perspective, gaining following #Amazon #Bestseller. Who says religion isn’t of interest?

Honoured to read @ecameron.bsky.social beautiful words from #OurPreciousEarth an important piece of fiction about defending nature in our beloved Sussex countryside

Broken Madonna book being held in plane

Broken Madonna is currently on the way to Hong Kong in style! Not with me, I’m at my desk in #Brighton but characters Adelina, Elisabetta and Giulio have already been to the Galapagos, a long way from their very humble origins in post WW2 #Italy. Where next?🇮🇹🌍 #histfic

Great photo I’m sure your presentation on the River #Po will go down a storm

This passage went down well as a reading at launch of Broken Madonna, sets scene of late ‘30s #Italy & dilemma of a new mother. Thanks for sharing @annerandomthings.bsky.social
