Description
In March, UWE Bristol Library is hosting Women's History Month book giveaways, to raise awareness about women's history and personal experiences.
We’ll be hiding the giveaway books around our campuses, and we’ll be posting location clues on our Instagram Stories @uwelibrary. If you find a book, it’s yours to keep.
This giveaway features Soldier Sailor by Claire Kilroy.
Book bio:
"With her first novel in ten years, Claire Kilroy presents us with a mother’s monologue to her infant son, Sailor. Solider, our mother, takes us on a raw, emotional dive into the depths of early motherhood as she reunites with an old friend who offers her a return to her former life."
