I'm honoured to be numbered among this potent group (Lucky 13!), and I'm psyched to be speaking at this Independent Climate event on Wed.

A remarkable story of scientific dedication in the midst of war. Simon Parkin has an amazing eye for unexpected human stories and he always tells them with such power and care. Look out for THE FORBIDDEN GARDEN OF LENINGRAD this November 🌿

Well of course I’m gonna share this. Thank you Lucy for this loveliness.

"A richly researched and meticulously observed account of a little-explored corner of 20th-century history" Lovely to see Simon Parkin's remarkable new book, THE FORBIDDEN GARDEN OF LENINGRAD, as Guardian Books BOTD 🌿 Out Thurs!

Since the winner of the Booker Prize will be announced tonight, a reminder that Muriel Spark helped spread a rumour during the 1994 ceremony that Iris Murdoch’s husband was stealing potatoes from guests' plates 🥔

My new book, The Forbidden Garden of Leningrad, is out today. It tells the story of the botanists who worked at the world's first seed bank during the 900-day siege––and how they were faced with a terrible decision: eat the seeds to survive, or protect the collection for science.

"An astonishing story brilliantly told," says Jonathan Dimbleby 🌱 Simon Parkin's remarkable new book, THE FORBIDDEN GARDEN OF LENINGRAD, is out today. A deeply researched & beautifully written account of scientific bravery i/t face of war. Buy it now: lnk.to/TFGOL

Absolutely loved this. Wendy Erskine is a writer who is just really really really good at writing. Sounds like a low bar, but it’s actually a rare treat and a fucking relief. Thanks again for sending Antsa Sceptre Books Lucy Luck 🙏❤️
