Oh my goodness I thought I was the only parent who sacrificed their cultural integrity for their beloved daughter! Watching Love Island, unconscionable or rather incongruous?in normal circumstances, was a lifeline when she was away from home, going through a difficult time and connecting every evening to watch something together and sending updates from media gossip throughout the day, was actually a lovely experience. We were able to check in and up on her without it being yet another ‘how are you doing?’ conversation. Who knew ....?Love Island as therapy?
I have just enjoyed watching Five Bedrooms , good fun easy viewing and Normal People , a bit harrowing at times, and I liked Conversations with Friends too. I will try out Everything I know about Love. If you love Anna Kendrick’s quirky character you might like Love Life Series 1.
More furiously fabulous book recommendations Florence. Thank you as ever. I have them stacked up on audible waiting until I can finish listening to Great Circle, which I’m loving, as you promised I would. I laughed out loud at your Dads consternation re the last newsletter, though in truth I was a little disappointed too, in finding no literary recommendations (although I might have purchased a handy volcanic orange pepper grinder in my chagrin!) fondest love from Nicola picola x
I love that your Dad comments on your newsletter Florence! I have to thank you for recommending Where the Crawdads Sang . It was absolutely brilliant. I've just discovered Josephine Tey, I've only read one so far. One of those lovely , easy to read, well written books with a twist at the end that makes you think.
