Stan and Nan by Sarah Lippett
Stan and Nan are all of our grandparents, their stability and infinite kindness much mourned as our ever-changing worlds spin frantically on.' Rachel Cooke, Observer My nan wrote me many letters back in 2011.
Lippett serves up a little slice of social history, and it’s this that makes her book so rich and touching… This is a lovely, tender book… Her story brims with love-- Rachel Cooke * Observer *
Both an intricate piece of superbly executed and charming illustration work and an exploration of ideas around shared memory and storytelling. -- Emily Gosling * It's Nice That *
A tale of grandparents and northern families that made me weep for all the right reasons… I bloody loved Stan and Nan. It made me smile, it made me cry (happy and sad tears), it made me think and remember. It just did all those wonderful things that the best books can... So if you can get your mitts on it, it is a real joy to spend your time with, I will be reading it again and again. -- Simon Savidge * Savidge Reads *
