Fabulous to see the TV adaptation last night. So utterly charming and a great excuse for a re-read! Glad they kept the 1st line (best since the truth universally acknowledged one), and Julia Roberts warmth added to the charm. Marvellous 😊

Leonard and Hungry Paul review – this Julia Roberts-narrated comedy is the perfect antidote to modern life
Alex Lawther and Jamie-Lee O’Donnell star in this adaptation of Rónán Hession’s understated 2019 novel. Its quiet celebration of the gentle life is the opposite of today’s frantic TV – even if it does...

A truth...
The fight shouldn’t be between left & right
It should be between the uber-wealthy who are sucking up the wealth vs the rest of us
That’s the real fight
And it scares oligarchs so much, they spend their money & time (e.g Musk) ensuring we fight eachother instead

I was amazed by this book. Completely convincing world building, propulsive plot but most importantly so profoundly personalist, political, serious-minded. It’s a soaring feat of imagination tethered firmly to the present. Congratulations @ofmooseandmen.bsky.social and @jomcmillan.bsky.social
