Two Things About....
The Orenda by Joseph Boyden
One -If you had to watch Dr Who from behind the sofa when you were a kid then beware – there is a fair amount of claret in this book – it’s the most magnificent and spectacular spillage of claret you’ll ever read about… but there is a lot of it – so clear a space behind the sofa before you start to read it!
Two -The three main characters Snow Falls, Bird and Crow are so special and so amazing that you could happily go for a beer with the three of them after work on a Friday night – and I mean EVERY Friday night!!!
Two Things About....
Near To The Wild Heart by Clarice Lispector
One – There isn’t really a plot – in fact there isn’t anything other than 194 pages full of words and phrases that are simply brilliant! (though they don’t actually add up to a story)
Two – It will teach you that the sun does not simply rise in the morning and shine down into your room – no, no, no, no, no, the sun “insinuates its way between your sheets”. Now isn’t that a reason to get up and get on with life!
