Just a quick post to let you know some of the things that are coming up on Girl, Reading over the coming days…I’ve just started two very different novels and am enjoying them both so far. “Early One Morning” starts with an act of impulse during the Second World War and goes on to explore how the repercussions of such an act reverberate long after the crisis itself has passed.  “The Light Years” is completely different; the first book in the famous Cazalet Chronicles, it’s one I’ve always meant to read but never got round to, and already I’m thoroughly immersed in its world.  As there’s nothing like a good cry, I’ll be sharing with you some of my favourite weepies, and on a much more sombre note, I’ll also be writing about “Hiroshima”, the journalistic piece written by John Hersey in the immediate aftermath of the atomic bomb that has been reissued by Penguin to mark 70 years since the attack.

Until next time…
