I review theatre, art and books, and like electronic music, pop, disco, jazz, opera, Siamese cats, coffee, tea shops, and scones with jam. I live in beautiful North East Scotland.
Paul is a brilliant creation, so bad and yet also so good. I loved this book.

I agree. I’ve had three teenagers and ‘banning’ them from using phones in their bedrooms would have been completely pointless.
Education is (as always) key.

When I hear refernces to the 1980s I think 'oh quite recent really' - until I realise that my children have absolutely no knowledge of most things that happened back then... (Our Friends in the North, Pride etc have helped to explain.) But 2000!!! Ridiculous!

And one more from me, What Doesn't Kill Us by Ajay Close, set in 1970s Leeds at the time of the Peter Sutcliffe murders (though this is fiction.) Close does a fantastic job of recreating life as it was for women then. #booksky @saraband-books.bsky.social
