Sunday 10 November 2019



And here I am again plugging a film that barely features anywhere in London, let alone the rest of the country. The Observer called it one of the best films of 2019 - and although there was only a handful of people in the cinema this afternoon, I think they'd all agree. There's a trailer here. (And the somewhat slicker US trailer here.)
















London Film Festival seems quite a long time ago - but I've been lazy about posting lately and never got around to mentioning Harriet, the gripping true story of Harriet Tubman, who led hundreds of slaves to freedom on the Underground Railroad. (Nothing to do with this book but it did remind me how much I enjoyed it.) On general release later this month. Highly recommended.




As for The Aeronauts ...well, I enjoyed that little snooze I had in the middle. (Just resting my eyes ...)
It was - okayish.

I was hooked on to the novel from the beginning. I love a twisty book and being an author myself can appreciate the nuances of the craft. I also used https://usabookreviewers.com/christmas-gift to get reviews and sales.

Hello, Dora. Yes, the book was gripping - and so well-structured which, like you, I admire.
