I work in the area of sustainability and climate change, and the more you know the scarier it is. Like the sun, you can’t look too closely at it, but face to one side, you make your way, because in fact, it’s easy to put everything right. All the solutions are right here, they just have to catch on. Walking lightly and mindfully upon the earth is so doable. I started writing as therapy, with green solutions as the main ingredient, stories to soothe my soul. Then my characters and their stories took over centre stage, leaving the green solutions to season the stew.

I loved this book. The language is rich and sensuous and the title describes the experience of reading it perfectly. At heart it's a straightforward romance, but the luxuriant prose and edginess place it at a higher level. ...more

I nicked this off my partner before he could read it and devoured it in a week. As a walker myself I recognised some of the routes and the romance was great to follow. He's the best author I know for writing witty female characters. ...more

This was one of my favourites I read this year. I loved that the fact the so called villain was derided for being attractive to men despite being overweight, rather than for killing them. It was also a great insight into Japanese culture. I loved fol ...more

This was compelling. She could have gone for the obvious at the end, but it was much more subtle and all the more powerful because of it. The characters lingered in my mind.

As a writer myself, this was a cautionary tale. Not so much that I've ever been tempted to plagiarise, but more for the dangers of cultural appropriation or being canceled. My partner loved it for quite different reasons as he was interested in the s ...more

I really enjoyed this, both for the characters, the plot and the historical setting. I became so invested in the characters I kept wondering about them afterwards. That period of history too is fascinating when things could have gone either way.
