Storytelling Sundays #1
When are you happiest? I’ve been thinking a lot about this lately and find that my happiest moments generally centre around peace, quiet and calm. For example, basking in the mid-afternoon Sunday sunshine with a cup of tea, plate of biscuits and reading a good book. Either that, or writing one…
Anyway, this realisation gave me the idea to write Storytelling Sundays, a weekly article to bring th

| I loved this book. It is lyrical, sumptuous storytelling full of characters (inspired by the Bloomsbury Group) who lived and breathed and who I miss now that I've finished. The central love story was particularly beautiful and felt so REAL. One I wil ...more | |

| Superb. Half-way through this and it's already topping my best-reads of the past decade. So funny. So bitter. Dark comedy. No plot to speak of, mostly a running commentary of the protagonist's life, but no the worst for it. A strange book that won't ...more | |

“One proton of faith, three electrons of humility, a neutron of compassion and a bond of honesty,” Robert said, winking at his daughter. “What’s that?” Cora frowned, confused. Maggie laughed. “That, according to your father, is the molecular structure of love.”
