Philippa Fisher

For the Philippa Fisher series, a trilogy of about 800 pages per ISFDB [1], we have a page for the second novel only, namely Philippa Fisher and the Dream-Maker's Daughter (2009). It doesn't explain the series, nor does this biography. Illustrator Katie May (Green) does not have a biog and probably shouldn't have one yet.

This doesn't work well. At minimum someone who knows the series should write a one-line summary here, in the list of works, and a "Background" or "Series" section for the book article. Probably it would be better, certainly more work, to convert the other to a series article. --P64 (talk) 17:48, 8 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

shouldn't she have Jewish and lgbt categories?

She has written about her father who was Jewish and grew up in Austria, fortunately escaping the Nazis, and the impact of the Holocaust on her life. She's written a novel, When the World Was Ours(2021), inspired by her family history, about 3 young Viennese friends, 2 Jewish, whose fates are intertwined during the Holocaust. She has also written about coupling up with her female partner Laura (in a civil partnership) in 2013, and asking her publisher at the same time to reconsider her gay YA novel and two years later (2015) published it, Read Me Like a Book, which she'd written in 1999, but was rejected probably because of Section 28. She's also contributed a story, 'Love is a Word, Not a Sentence' to Here I Stand:Stories That Speak For Freedom, a 2016 Amnesty International story collection about human rights, about two teenage girls who have a relationship, and suffer bullying that leads to one committing suicide. She said in the afterword to the story that she'd been thinking about how the UK has progressed so much in comparison to other countries with lgbt rights, but then her friend's nephew was distraught after his best friend killed himself due to homophobic bullying. Being Jewish and gay (I use that as an umbrella term, since I can't find a source that says if she's lesbian or bisexual) has clearly influenced her life, so i think she ought to have a Jewish category, an LGBT Jews category, and categories for Jewish writers and LGBT writers. The fact she mentioned marrying Laura in 2013, but in a civil partnership, makes me wonder if they converted it to a marriage when same-sex marriage was legalised the following year (2014), but I can't find any evidence. https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/uk/lifestyle/a35276438/liz-kessler-family-holocaust-story-interview/ http://awfullybigblogadventure.blogspot.com/2013/11/lets-get-this-out-thereliz-kessler.html https://www.theguardian.com/childrens-books-site/2014/may/13/liz-kessler-section-28-times-have-changed https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/31180736-here-i-stand https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/22352840-read-me-like-a-book https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/55781059-when-the-world-was-ours 188.29.134.80 (talk) 17:20, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
