#betholearyauthor TO LAHORE, WITH LOVE by @hinabelitz has the most brilliant prologue. It’s so clever and funny and sad and smart, all beautifully compressed in a few short pages. It’s rare I find myself so quickly gripped, but it GOT me

My Story
Welcome and thank you for being here. I am passionate about story, the deep and sustained pleasure it provides as well as how through story we can bring meaning to the challenges we face. It is the very fabric with which our lives are knitted together.
Let’s share our stories
Let’s make our lives better.
Let’s make it happen

TO LAHORE, WITH LOVE by @hinabelitz has the most brilliant prologue. It’s so clever and funny and sad and smart, all beautifully compressed in a few short pages. It’s rare I find myself so quickly gripped, but it GOT me.
And the rest of the book is just as beautiful. It’s the story of Addy Mayford, an incredibly talented chef, whose life is turned upside down by an awful secret. Desperate to escape, she goes to Lahore with her Pakistani Nana, where she finds a family she’s never known – and even more life-changing secrets… (I’m sorry, I’m being SO vague about all these secrets but it’s really hard not to spoil the story!)
The book is dotted with Addy’s recipes – she’s convinced that food has the power to change how you feel, and she tells us how to make Love Me Forever Lamb, Come Together Spice Mix and (my favourite) Unpleasantness-Cancelling Lentils.
To Lahore, With Love publishes on March 19th. Not long to wait!
