Kicking off here @LesCotils with @Susie__Chan chatting all things endurance running with the sun shining outside.

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

Murder in the Gulag recounts how Navalny made a fatal mistake returning to Russia after his poisoning, betting that Vladimir Putin wouldn't kill him. But with the fortunes of war slowly turning in Russia's favour, Navalny lost that bet.

It was important for Lorna @always_leyt 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

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