274. When God Was A Rabbit
This aggravatingly wonderful and beautifully written debut novel by Sarah Winman is pure joy on the page. It's funny and sad and pin-sharp and warm and dark and I wanted to pull it over me like a duvet. It has given me inspiration and challenge and the great satisfaction of reading a book for the second time and finding yet more within it.
One day, if I'm lucky, I'll write a book as good as this one. Til then, I'll keep it by me - as a sort of talisman.

ooh fab. please put this on my retirement reading list (except of course we will not be able to retire in our age, but i hope to be able to read more at some stage).
ReplyDeletein positive news, i read the Hunger Games trilogy last week (yes about 5 years after everyone else), which i loved. quick ask: please find time in your busy writing schedule to write some good books for young women with excellent and fabulous female leads. of course you have loads of time to do this....!
