Update on my mum’s Clematis hedge…

'They would wait, preparing their trousseau, and trusting in the hope of love and happiness. Instead, they found life draining–-the kitchen, the house, the swelling and flattening of their bodies as they brought children into the world.'

New on the blog today, I've written about A SAVAGE INNOCENCE by Avril Horner, a superb new biography of Barbara Comyns.

Detailed, fascinating & meticulously researched, it brings to life this uniquely talented author in a highly compelling way. A triumph!
