I parked the car in the middle of Rennes once and after I’d wiped away the tears, got out and walked until I found the road I needed…

Oh I think you could make it work @bellam. On one level the house could be a sort of manifestation of the forces inside Molly’s head keeping her imprisoned and I like the duality of it being a safe place and a prison at the same time.

The Coventry Ringway was designed by someone with a grudge against all mankind.

Oh dear Squidge. My sister lives in Coventry and I go to great lengths to avoid driving on any part of the Ringway so I sympathise. Sounds as though your day went brilliantly though!

Time off is good, even if it feels dispiriting at the time. Honestly. My cats are worrying about you and the pompoms.

A day off needed maybe? A walk? A few moments to remember how wonderful you are and how magical your writing is? Tea? Chocolate? It will return…

Both tea and chocolate sound good! I decided to give myself ‘permission’ to not even try to write for a couple of weeks, rather than try and flounder. But I’m not sure that’s a good thing to keep doing as inertia and doubt set in – I know you understand! I’m away to test whether more chocolate is the cure…

I have now read Andrew Motion’s review and he sums up my frustration with the book perfectly.
-
Thanks Ath.

I think I agreed with Andrew Motion’s review too. Read Warlight when it came out and memory of details is beginning to fade. But, yes, a little disappointing. Sort of changed its nature part way through?
PS Motion’s review of Tessa Hadley’s latest, Late in the Day, pretty spot on too though I enjoyed it a little more than he seems to have done.…[Read more]-
PPS Actually I liked it, but I’m a big Hadley fan. However I didn’t put it down thinking I’d like to read it again.

Of her novels, I’d go for The Past. Though I also like The London Train for the way it includes contemporary issues and anxieties.
The short stories are even better. I’d start with the last volume, Bad Dreams.

I’d be very inetrested to know what you think of it when you do. I was really, really looking forward to reading it but I’m a bit disappointed and wondering if I’ve missed something.

No. I’ve been waiting for it in paperback, not sure it’s out yet, but certainly intend to.

I was toying with splashing out on the Kindle edition but Andrew Motion’s review made me think about it. I probably will, though.

I read ‘The Little Stranger’ and thought if Sarah Waters tells me one more time that Dr Faraday does things gently, I’d rip the book up. I couldn’t though, because it was a library book.

I have pom poms, kettle, and boots at the ready…

Thanks guys! I like the sound of Pom poms….

I also today have banana, pecan and white chocolate muffins if you want one. There were overripe bananas lurking in my fruit bowl that needed a home.
