I just cringed and my heart was broken when I saw how my boxes of books were being handled 💔😢
Started a memoir by Jewel, a singer I like.
pickThis book is part biography, part fiction and part memoir of the author. A strange combination and I wasn‘t sure what to make of it at first. I like George Orwell‘s work but this book looks at his wife Eileen and her role and influence on his work. And how she has been ignored by everyone including Orwell. It left me thinking that Orwell was a completely self absorbed a-hole!! The book had me questioning assumptions but rounded them out perfectly
This is my second audiobook! IKIK 🤣 The first one was a real challenge to get through, but I‘m really enjoying this one! I really don‘t know much about Jessica so this is very interesting. I‘m sad that she has been through so much 💔I‘m thinking I‘m going to enjoy memoirs the most that are narrated by that person!
❤️❤️❤️
pickOh Sacha - you must have had a dedicated guardian angel to have survived your drunken, high-risk earlier life…Amazing memoir of finding and maintaining sobriety 💀 🖤🍷

‘Listen to this for a thank-you note,‘ she tells Lettice, finding Wells‘s letter. “Why do you attack me in this way? Is it some perverted jealousy or some insane political machinations. Read my early works you shit.”‘ Lettice chuckles.
‘Poor man,‘ she says. ‘Probably thinks you were trying to kill him.‘
‘Yes,‘ Eileen says. ‘Death by plum cake.‘
pickJust finished. A short but powerful read. The tears have not dried as I write this. Another Aussie writer gone way too soon. I want to write more but hard to find the words. It‘s not depressing , in fact it‘s uplifting.
The book itself is a pleasure for me. Hard back and printed on thick white paper that looks like it would stay white forever. So glad I was able to hold this book and read it.
And this is the eternal human paradox,the only way we can cope with our mortality is to ignore it, to live as though we have all the time in the world.
