“Times change, but people rarely do.”

I appreciate that Virginia had not been taught to recognise red flags, especially pertaining to men. That becomes clearer and clearer as she talks about her married life too.

My face as I am listening to this on a walk with my dog is just thunder and lightning, and I swear there are times when I’m reading this and I am so sick, sad, and angry that I could snap a man in two.

Yes, I am rereading this in preparation for the
“Movie” that is coming. I am reminded how delighted I was, that the first few chapters are just a new visitor to the Moors being a gossipy biatch.

Why do I feel like Asil isn't going to walk away with a love-interest after this ...?

Have I potentially found a book that’s giving ‘The Haunting of Hill House’ Netflix series?!! I think I have!

I love Asil so much.

This very much feels like it's inspired by Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy films, (think 'Woman of the Year' - 1942) and I love that!

This is such a great concept - upmarket women’s fiction hinges on them - but it’s truly brilliantly executed from the jump.

This is feeling slightly Taylor Jenkins Reid …

I can’t say I enjoy an Emily Henry book, but I do enjoy Julia Whelan reading them to me

There had better be a third book … I’m panicking!

Mhairi is so clever for making Declan a legitimate and viable potential love interest.

And I’m gonna say right now - I think I want a third book!

So far I’m enjoying this book more than the first!

Oh. This is gonna be a 5-star read.

“Hope didn’t mean having to live till the end of the story.”

It’s Fantasy Colonial-Horror and I am here for it

Pretty hard to read this and not see Israel/Palestine parallels …

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH

This is SO GOOD!!!!!

I've barely scratched the surface of this and it's already SO GOOD! It's giving 'Lumatere Chronicles' by Melina Marchetta!

Omg I am LOVING THIS

I’m really shocked in this English translation that there isn’t a photograph of the postcard in question? — given that I’m now reading pages and pages analysing the handwriting?

‘I’d reached the age where something, some force, pushes you to look back because the horizon of your past is now more vast, more mysterious, than the one that lies ahead’

‘On this page, I gently close his wide-open eyes.’ 💔

Atrocity atop atrocity … the past echoes in the present-day, in Palestine too.

It kinda reminds me of Early Morning Riser by Katherine Heiny?
