pickStraightforward character drama that has aged shockingly well. Would love to see it on stage. And Anderson famously sticks the dismount.

Oh @squirrelbrain you‘re such a love for remembering Thank you. You‘ve helped my day feel so very special ♥️
This is turning out to be a very strong year. I‘m getting sad when such fantastic books are getting knocked out of the running so early. But the winner will be for sure amongst my all time favourites. I can tell you just from the books currently in the running!
pick27/23 I will never stop thinking about this book. Strange, dark, full of characters blurred somewhere between truth and fiction. It sucks you in and spits you out at the end, unsure of what has just happened. It was a wild ride. So much happens within is 200 pages. This is my #booked2023 #inmemoriam pick. Seabrook sadly died young and had only written two books.
I am in love with this little book. I had never heard of it or the author before I found it in a charity shop. Definitely judged it by its cover. And on this occasion it paid off! It‘s taking me on a wild ride through the dark side of Kent and it‘s historical characters. I‘ve learnt about TS Elliot, Dickens, chimney sweeps, the artist Richard Dadd and I have no idea where we are going next! What a lovely surprise in a pretty package.
Okay I like to try this too. I am open to anything but Harquin Romance, Graphic Horror, and Rom Com. I mostly read YA and Fanasty.
panA woman and her son are accused, Tried, and found guilty of murder in 1931 Detroit. They spend 15+ yrs in prison before the convictions are overturned.
My biggest issue, the author got a small detail very wrong. She mentions a city, Dowagiac, and states it is in Northern Michigan, a look at a map would show it is very much in Southern Michigan. This didn‘t have anything to do with the main story, if that detail is so wrong what else is wrong?
Your land has a story, and it‘s worth listening
so-soGood book but the ending was a little unsatisfying. I‘m thinking that the next one may pick up where this one left off, but it was tough to read about the protagonist‘s internal struggle for so long with no movement either which way. I did love the setting and mystery, but the struggle over his struggle was real. 🤨
