Man, what a whirlwind this year has been. My sense of time is all up the left – surely we can’t have had close calls with WWIII, the continent of Australia almost burned to a crisp and wiping out a billion animals and ancient forests, not to mention the floods, landslides, earthquakes – and now a global pandemic…. and only be in the third month of the year??

| Absolutely outstanding. I'm still reeling from just how evil Millicent is - the book unfolds her layers so carefully and with such compelling storytelling that you simply cannot tear your eyes from the page. In my lifetime I have probably read four b ...more | |

| A masterpiece. An epic in its own right. A crucial and necessary read. Never has such an invocation of THE ILIAD been so important, and yet this context - and a knowledge of it - isn't as important as the book's feminist agenda. Recently scholars hav ...more | |

I was so impressed by what I read of 'The Boy Who Could See Demons' that I've just ordered a copy. Impressed too by your ref to 'The Screwtape Letters' - read this recently! As you're from Belfast, I hope the Titanic story still interests you. You might like to read THE MASTER'S TALE, Capt Smith's account (in novel form, of course!) of his life and what led up to the tragedy. www.annvictoriaroberts.co.uk for more info. Thanks!
