Weatherland...one of my favourite books to dip in and out of.

Cornflower

It is excellent, isn't it?

Sarah

Weatherland is always by my bed to dip into too. I love Alexandra's style of writing. Did you listen to her radio series on walking in the footsteps of Virginia Woolf?

Cornflower

No, I didn't, Sarah, but I shall now - thank you so much for mentioning it.

I have just finished The Ice by Laline Paull ( who wrote The Bees) . Some beautiful descriptions of fjords, ....and ice!

Cornflower

I don't know that one - I shall investigate.

Another good read is Peter Hoeg's Miss Smilla's Feeling for Snow.
