Being Accountable #2 Feb 2021

getting accepted isn't really the point, I'm challenging myself to invite critical comment.

Often the prose is, to use modern slang, quite 'naval gazing'

it was more like winning the lottery with a ticket I hadn’t realised I’d bought.

But this carnage is at a whole new level. As is the prose, this book will never be criticised for ‘descriptive’!

I found myself furrow browed at times, nodding as Haig so vividly describes the effects of depression and anxiety

The story is set some 56 years ago but feels vibrant, fresh and important.

a rather delicious GU Zillionaire Cheesecake is settling on top of my roast dinner

The middle aged banter in the car, some coffee and more giggles waiting for the start are so much part of the experience.

No, we are suckers for the feel of a book (embossed covers are almost erotic are they not?) Oh, and the smell of a new ink on paper....
