Susannah J. Bell is a writer of science fiction and other strange and surreal works. She was born in London but grew up in South Africa, escaping when she was twenty to be a writer. Not able to find much success in London, she dreamed of living in other parts of the world: the Scottish Highlands, New York, Mars, but never got much further than travel guides. Nowadays, she would like to live in a tower in a forest and dreams of travelling to the fantastical worlds of her imagination.

It’s funny how the right book comes along just when you need it most. This was one of those books. While reading it, I had the kind of thoughts that went “this is the best book I’ve ever read!” It probably isn’t but it did give me a whole new perspec ...more

When I first started this series over Christmas last year, I wanted to read nothing else in the months that followed. Gradually it dawned on me that although the books are well-written and the era beautiful realised, they are also really miserable. I ...more

"What a melancholy book this was! This last volume in the series is partly a repeat of the former four and has a sad atmosphere in general. It makes me wonder why EJH chose to end the family saga this way. Now I am sad too, for having come to the end " Read more of this review »

I can’t understand why I’ve never read P.D. James before. It might have to do with an adaption of one of her books on the radio which – at the time – I couldn’t get into. I thought it sounded dreary, wordy, not enough action. Oh, how I love to be pro ...more
