Welcome to Litsy!

I have bookmail! Isn‘t it pretty? It‘s also 6pm on Friday, and I‘ve just turned of the work phone. Plus, the gas engineer came at 5pm yesterday, so we‘ve had a full 24 hours of heating & hot water & only wearing 1 jumper at a time 🎉🎉🎉

Happy Weekend, Litsy!

This is the third novel I‘ve read of Favel Parrett‘s. It is the second of her three books and she has become a #mustreadauthor for me. My favourite is still her first novel, Past The Shallows.

In this book her stunning yet sparse prose illuminates Tasmania and Antarctica, and I loved her beautifully drawn characters.

I‘m ready and waiting for her next offering 🤗🤞😍.

Save the Children book sale. And these are just mine.

My 11yo was chuffed with his 11 books! It was priceless to see his face when he was handed an empty box and I told him he could fill it 😂📚📚❤️.

Set in Tasmania and Antarctica, by Favel Parrett. When the Night Comes tells the story of a young girl, learning what is important in life and who to trust; and of a crewman on the Antarctic supply ship, the Nella Dan, a modern Viking searching to understand his past and find a place in this world for himself.

When their paths cross, he teaches her the gift of stillness, of watching birds and shares tales of sailing south to the ice.
