There’s a lot of soul in unexpected places this week. From the sacred lurking inside a loaf of bread in Italy, to the ways that grief inspired the creation of the Beatles' greatest music, from a Trojan journey to Michael Rosen’s celebration of the language of his childhood. There’s heart and soul in a doctor’s account of how a hospital in North London managed to save the lives of six people who became very ill during a drug trial, and in the ways that writing can get us through the toughest times in life.
