Inside the Wave

I bought this copy second hand, not realising that someone had annotated it.

Very touching: they wrote out the whole final poem, I think clearly a fan.

kspenmoll Thank you. Bought this. 2w

Currently at a fantastic Foyles event for the Costa Book Award. An event to celebrate the wonderful life of the late Helen Dunmore. I have to admit I've never read any myself but will probably be doing so after this!!

jhod Brilliant! 7y

Laura317 This quote is great! It brings to mind a gangly adolescent awkwardly falling for his first love. 7y

so-so

Hard to review this and not feel like you‘re reviewing a woman‘s life, talent and legacy as she was dying when she write these. So I won‘t here but will on my blog in due course. Suffice to say it‘s not what I was expecting/sold but it did move me in parts nonetheless.
