FAVOURITE BOOK & WHY WOULD YOU RECOMMEND IT?
Luckily, a varied academic path has allowed me to enjoy a wide range of genres and literatures but one book which has had particular impact is Hans Fallada’s Kleiner Mann, was nun? It reminds me that I’m lucky to have what I have and we all have a duty to support others where we can.
FAVOURITE FOOD & WHY ?
Streusel cake and Spaetzle – these foods are linked to fond memories whilst living in Germany!
