The books I love to read.

I like to read widely rather in one genre, but I'm always trying to catch up with classics that I've never read before, not simply recently published books.

That said, I love historical novels. Novels by Helen Dunmore, John Boyne, Tracy Chevalier, Margaret Attwood and Sebastian Barry are amongst recent favourites. I also enjoy Tracy Rees, Elizabeth Buchan and Elizabeth Fremantle, and many more. Read more of this blog post »

“You're my lodestar – that's the one that sailors followed, the Pole Star that took them safely home to harbour.” he said.
“And I suppose you're like a shooting star” she responded “Always travelling in unexpected directions”
And like a shooting star, he had disappeared over the edge of her world, taking all the light and leaving her in cold darkness.”
