Just finished Becoming by Michelle Obama, what an impressive read, thoroughly engaged with it. I think it will make an excellent book club choice, plenty of issues to chew over. How important like minded people are to support a vision and how sad when so much that is so good can so easily be kicked into touch when somebody comes along and doesn't get it.
I don't know why it should come into my head at this point but 'by lack of understanding we remain sane' seems apt.

Behind the Walls - A new post-war novella

This week I’m happy to announce the publication of my novella Behind the Walls . It is about a canny, resourceful young Catholic boy, the girl he befriends and the courage they find to create a future of their own despite their personal difficulties and hardships. Behind the Walls is flavoured with an element of medieval mystery and is inspired by a rich sense of the past which still resonates in the streets surrounding Newcastle’s City Walls where I was born and brought up. Behind the Walls is currently on promotion with Amazon in paperback and Kindle versions and will shortly be available to order from bookshops. I hope you will enjoy and leave your review on Amazon.
