The transitory and life changing moments of reflection.
The novel touches on the whole range of human desires, aspirations, on literary pretension, hubris and self-immolation.
There's a heady femininity in Felicity Plunkett's Vanishing Point.
Funny and spiritual in the most pragmatic sense – a satisfying, and pleasurable read.
Straddles a fine line between perception, the fantastic, and the mundane workings of a daily grind.
This is the underlying celebration of the novel: the beauty of flawed humanity amidst the bodiless, bloodless gods.
This book lives up to its name, with 120 recipes that span the three meals of the day, including soups, desserts, low-fat treats.
There is something rather special about this little book.
Despite its passion and intensity, the reading is fast, propelled by the sense of impending explosion that propels the narration.
A tender collection full of rich moments.
