| I can fully understand why this book has won as many awards as it has. It’s beautifully written and carefully constructed. The collapse of civilisation is also deeply unsettling; I'm grateful I didn't read this at the onset of Covid! There is much ab ...more | |

A very enjoyable story with a twisty plot, a range of suspects who are more nuanced than simply black-and-white goodies and baddies. In addition, readers are reunited with characters from previous novels who now feel like comfortable friends. Having ...more |

I love the way Stephen fry narrates. He could read a grocery list or recite the periodic table and I’d listen with joy. His voice is a comfort blanket of warm erudition. So, yeah. I was bound to like this book. And like it I did. Some of the myths I ...more |

She wasn't interested in flowers and chocolates, kissing and cuddling. She wanted friends, not romantic partners. All of that screamed aromanticism to her.

“Clare marvelled at the number of people adorned in flags and makeup, who were claiming the streets as their own. They sported coloured hair and T-shirts, braces, face paint, rainbow-coloured shoes, and glittered skin. People carried banners and bags.
