The Afterwards
Name: Emily Marcuccilli
09 September 2019;Genre: Friends and family
The Afterwards is, as I fully expected it to be, a very special story. It tackles the tricky and complex issue of loss and bereavement from a child's perspective, but we are in safe hands with AF Harrold and Emily Gravett. That is not to say that it is in any way simplistic, p...

Wuthering Heights
Name: Hannah V
16 July 2019;Genre: Friends and family
