Velkom to Inklandt
Sophie's 2017 book Velkom to Inklandt[8] plays on the difficulties of English lenkvitch (language) and vokebulerry (vocabulary), using phonetic spellings of words to borrow the voice of her German Jewish Grent Muzzer (grandmother) Liesel. It was The Guardian's Book of the Day on Tuesday 26th September 2017 - Kate Kellaway described the book as "uplifting, funny, heart-breaking – a one-off." [9] The book was also named one of The Sunday Times Poetry Books of the Year in 2017.[10] In 2022 it was adapted into a play, to be performed at JW3 by Sarah Mallin in November 2022.[11]
