Go Nihon-go

Midlife crisis? Boredom? An inexplicable urge to travel? Also – fear.

The Hoarder, by Jess Kidd, is such a richly layered book, a sort of comedy thriller inhabited by fascinating characters — including long dead saints in conversation with cleaner Maud Drennan, who is charged with bringing civilisation into hoarder Cathal Flood’s home.

The Bass Rock, as East Lothian folk know, is a gannet-strewn island that stands proud in the Firth of Forth. This book is not so much about that geological wonder as it is about the lives of the women who live within sight of it.

I didn’t read Maggie O’Farrell’s Hamnet when it first came out because I had a to-read pile and I didn’t want it to skip to the front.

I’ll be reading from my book Making Pearls From Grit for the next #CompassionateCommunity #NorthBerwick #ArmchairChat — bringing a wee bit of humour to a workshop on will writing. It’ll be useful! And fun!
