We’re kicking off Saturday with Lorna Tucker here Les Cotils talking about her book Bare about how she became homeless in London at the age of 14. #GsyLitFest


It was important for Lorna Lorna Tucker to write Bare because not only was she starting to forge a name for herself as a filmmaker that made the press dredge up her past but also she realised it wasn’t something to hide anymore. #GsyLitFest



This afternoon at Les Cotils we are talking about spies and resistance with popular historian clare mulley 📚 Clare specialises in the experiences of women during WWII. #GsyLitFest


Kicking off here Les Cotils with Susie Chan chatting all things endurance running with the sun shining outside.
