Cider With Rosie
Cider With Rosie
It's been 22 years since I finished my literature degree, and I've become embroiled and cavorted in the world of sci-fi and fantasy. However, to shake things up I've decided to make this year's reading challenge about getting some classics under my belt. Kicking things off with the evocative Cider with Rosie.

The recent passing of a dear man, friend of the family and once inspirational English teacher, reminded me that this had been his favourite book. As such, I took it upon myself to explore it, and did so with pleasant surprise and relish. The prose is rich, poetic in its use of metaphor and can turn the most mundane of objects into things of magic. That the audiobook was narrated by none other than the late Lee himself, made this experience particularly special, and I felt as though I had stepped through a portal to taste a time which has passed and can never come again. 5 stars.
