Hello fellow bibliophile :)

So I recently finished “Notes to Self” by Irish author Emilie Pine and it changed me. The book is a collection of deeply personal essays that are despairing and hopeful at the same time.

Emilie gives a courageous account about the pains of being human - from having to care for a sick parent to violence against the self and menopause. Be prepared to deal with a range of complex emotions that will undoubtedly surface while reading this.

The second essay, in particular, is very touching as it deals with the grief of infertility - this, is good to point out, might be triggering for women trying to get pregnant. Emilie's writing is intimate and utterly real. It will change you too.

My first book, “a spectacularly sad ending”, is a collection of poetry and prose about heartbreak, loss and survival. It chronicles experiences of love, loss, abuse and grief, and is for anyone who is or ever had to mend a broken heart. It's available as a paperback and also on Kindle.
