On how Susie Nicklin came to acquire Pearl
“When I was sent the manuscript entitled Pearl, by Siรขn Hughes, I was enchanted. Hughesโ writing is flawless, like the privy pearl without a spot; I hardly changed a word. She captures the spirit of the original and shows us consolation through legend, nursery rhymes, folk songs, as a daughter seeks to understand the reasons for the disappearance of her mother.”

Time for bread on a trip to Frankfurt
