Forest says… Akshi Singh is a psychoanalyst and writer based in London and Glasgow. This is such a gentle and deeply consoling read. Over the course of ten years Akshi discovers the work of British psychoanalyst Marion Milner. Through the lens of Milner’s work she endeavours to make sense of her past and her journey through the loss of her brother, her reckoning with her gender and sexuality, an experience of love. Definitely one of my favourite reads of this year and a debut that leaves me looking forward to whatever comes next from this writer.
