@noplasticshower Not a cheery read, but both book and the film version are intense and powerful. The movie version has the bleakest use of the song "Waltzing Matilda" I've ever heard (suits it perfectly, though)
@safest_integer Fabulous book
@tkristinwilson One of my favourite writers. His latest, Is A River Alive?, was my favourite read of last year.
@shanaqui We loved this, Rachel is a chum of our bookshop. She did a lovely children's picture book after this about a same-sex wedding between two giants.

Always a pleasure to have a return visit from the excellent Scottish scribe, Jenni Fagan - signed copies of her new novel, The Delusions, available now!

#WhatWereReading : Joe found Professor Anna Whitelock's The Sun Rising (pub Bloomsbury) to be a fascinating insight into the change from the Elizabethan to Stewart period, laying foundations for a more global Britain afterwards (for good & ill!).

Less a biography of James, more about the world changing around him, at home and abroad (in a seemingly ever expanding world as ships explore more and more of the globe), and how he and those around him react or change to those.

Now in PB
