What a way to finish this year’s book tour! It was a real treat and honour to be on stage not once but twice at Cheltenham Literature Festival. First, to interview the author Celeste Ng about her brilliant, beautiful, terrifying new book ‘Our Missing Hearts’, a novel that exemplifies the power that art can have to change the world. (Go buy and read it!) Then to be in conversation with the authors Rowan Hisayo Buchanan and Peter Ho Davies, chaired expertly by Eric Wagner - was the salted egg yolk in the moon cake. Thank you so much to everyone who came, chatted to us afterwards, told us your stories. For those who have written to me - I will write back soon! Big love, Helena ♥️ thank you, as ever to Edeline Lee, whose designs have featured throughout this incredible tour, and Maria Garbutt Lucero, who has navigated us through the year. . . @ericawgnr @cheltfestivals @sceptrebooks @rowanhisa @mariagluc
