🌙⌛ How far would you travel to find a love lost in time? ⌛ 🌙

1927, East London. The first time Tommy and Peggy meet, they are nine years old. He is lost in London's original Chinatown, panicking as he struggles to escape the tangle of Limehouse streets, with their road signs in Chinese characters that he can't decipher.

'Where do you come from?' Peggy asks him.

For Tommy, the answer to that question can never be straightforward, because his family share a secret gift: they can travel through time. And each must eventually decide how much the present day means to them, and how far they are willing to travel to hold onto the people they love.

Heartfelt and hopeful, weaving through decades and across continents, The Moon Represents My Heart is an unforgettable debut about one extraordinary family, the gift that threatens to tear them apart and the love that binds them together.

The Moon Represents My Heart by @pim.wangtechawat is out next month in STUNNING hardback 🌙

This is the history of a place that no longer exists. A place that will once again determine the future of Europe.

Eastern Europe is more than the sum total of its annexations, invasions and independence declarations. From the Baltics to the Balkans, from Prague to Kiev, the area exuded a tragicomic character like no other.

This is a paean for a disappearing world of movable borders, sacred groves and syncretism. And an invitation to not forget.

Goodbye Eastern Europe: An Intimate History of a Divided Land is out today in hardback!
