Luckenbooth by Jenni Fagan review – brilliantly strange
Set across nine decades in an Edinburgh tenement, this haunted panorama is a dazzling outsider history
This is the first Jenni Fagan I have read, it is brilliant, original and a delight...I will be reading more of her work
If you haven't read this book...
You need to 🥰
It's time for a Book Review 📚
Luckenbooth brooch by Susan McGill
Acrylic, £12
'The Luckenbooth brooch is traditionally given as a love token. Mary Queen of Scots and Lord Darnley are said to have exchanged Luckenbooths. The Luckenbooth brooch was also pinned to the shawl of a newborn babe, as it was seen as a way to ward off evil spirits. The words on our fabulous brooches read “Of earthly joys thou art my choice”.'
i'm certain that's just a funny little coincidence and not something to think about, given how designs containing hearts and crowns aren't anything special, but I'll just leave this here for fun
Looking forward to reading this debut in 2024 😍
I'm not an artist but I had to doodle this little ghost family
Life is now.
It is so much stranger than anybody says.
They are always trying to normalise it! Make it normal. Make it normal. Make it normal. It's like a mantra for the mad. Making things normal seems the goal of modern society and it is so tedious. As if spinning on a ball in the middle of an unexplainable universe is just so - ordinary.
Luckenbooth - Jenni Fagan
