As the Olympics drew to its sad but inevitable conclusion, I saw
an interview with the performance director of the cycling squad,
Dave Brailsford, when he was asked to explain his team's

This is a very clever book; arguably the cleverest of all Harris’s books and almost certainly too clever for the likes of me. Because I struggled with it, if I’m honest. Mrs Green has three sons: Black, Brown and Blue. Black is the eldest, brash and...more |

| Sadly, I didn't finish this book. As a piece of social history, it's interesting enough. It follows the investigation into a (real life) tragedy at a bomb shelter in Bethnal Green during the war, the POV switching from that of several of the survivor...more | |

“Scared by the noise, Millie looked down at her brothers. Then she held out both arms and Tom's stomach turned cold. She was going to jump to him, like she did from the back of the sofa. She was going to jump, confident that he'd catch her, like he always did.”
