I have returned after a hospital break. I am still in recovery and that means indulgence with books and TV shows such as Foyles War. I have just been listening to La Belle Sauvage by Philip Pullman.

Daughter of the Stones – Pre-order now!
When Caitlin King’s father collapses on the eve of the summer solstice, she’s drawn into the tangled web of her fragile family – and strange visions begin to haunt her. Visions of another life, another time and a woman who looks uncannily like herself.
