pickGreat read!
Now to wait till October for the next book to be released!
pickAnother fantastic book from Sarah Moss (which I put off reading for ages, for superstitious reasons).
I love her fierce intelligence, and her insight into what makes families tick.
I've seen reviews elsewhere complaining of its being another book by her about "woke middle class people". (Yeah, and Jane Austen just writes about marriage, right?)
It's about parents being faced with the mortality of a child.
pickIn March 1953 the police found 4 dead women at 10 Rillington Place hidden in the walls and floorboards. Reg Christie was soon a suspect and one of the victims was his wife. Just 4 years before, in 1949, another man had been convicted for murdering his own wife and child on the same address.
This isn‘t a story looking into the life of victims and ignoring the suspect. It looks at both, but more importantly it looks at the press and the
#PemberLittens 20th Anniversary showing of Pride and Prejudice definitely called for dressing up. Niece in law Jen and I had the best time. We sighed, we laughed, we clapped.

In response to the UK Supreme Court's ruling today against the rights of trans people to exist, I've written the following to my MP (see in comments). I'd ask British Littens of good conscience to write to their own MP in support of our trans fellow citizens.

pickHeard Esther on the radio . It was from the Sydney Writers festival , not recent I don‘t think. I didn‘t realise her first book was Hideous Kinky . I saw the movie with Kate Winslett and loved it. This book is about 3 generations of women. I found it difficult at first to keep track of the characters as they had alternating chapters but finally got the hang of it. It all comes together nicely. Loved it.
pickLovely days reading and finished this one 😁
I‘m working my way through Moss‘s back catalogue that I haven‘t read.
There‘s not much of a plot, but beautiful, insightful writing as always.
I‘m on a day reading retreat in a hotel in Liverpool 😁
