Mike Leigh's film Hard Truths is on Netflix now. Such a powerful portrait by Marianne Jean-Baptiste of a woman clinging on to the last little bit of her tether. Supporting cast are incredible as well, trying to balance helping with being caught in the crossfire.

Finished this excellent novel around 2am.
Reminded me of Never Let Me Go which is good company to be in. Maybe even The Road.
More and more with fiction I’m desperate for a sense of humanity and at least a sliver of hope.
(Also, what a brilliant title.)

An entire squad of players doesn't forget how to play football five months after they win a title. The tactics have been awful, the coaching seems nonexistent and the lineups bizarre.
