The best reads of the year.

Two great novels stand-out for me this year -- stand-out amidst the tsunami of so-called celebrity authors, a cat named Bob or Charles or whatever and an avalanche of soppy, teenage "stories" about first love and disastrous parenting.
If someone out there can please send me the true definition of a "celebrity" please, please do.

My choice:

....to all those readers of this Blog, I wish you a great time over the festive Season and may 2015 be a bright light on your horizon.

Best Wishes.

Quote of the Week - H is for Hawk

QUOTE OF THE WEEK:

...in her brilliant  novel, H is for Hawk, Helen MacDonald writes about the author, T.H.White:

"...White had learned that going back in time was a way of fixing things; uncovering past traumas, revisiting them and defusing their power". 

 It is why people write memoirs.
