Carolynn's book of the month is What We Leave We Carry by Colin Grant.

"We hear so much rhetoric about migration. We forget that movement is in all of our DNA. From the beginning of time we have moved, long before borders existed.

It was a delight to come across this beautiful book from Colin Grant, acclaimed author and historian.

Colin has created a beautiful book where he makes space for those that have travelled and migrated to speak for themselves and it is fully absorbing and compelling. I loved this book and so wanted to meet the many people who opened up a window into their lives. I am confident that you will be repeating these stories to friends and family, and bringing more life to them, too. It is one that I will keep going back to over and over."
