Hello, welcome to my blog

Mostly you will find, here, transcribed entries from the secret diary that I used to keep as a teenager between 1970 and 1975. I try to be honest with my transcriptions, but, just occasionally I do edit, to protect myself or others from embarrassment or some other emotion.
Also, though, I like to do a brief review of the books I have been reading, so these are interspersed throughout. I reserve the right to write blog entries, also, about other random things.
Why do I keep this blog? I don't know. I am an academic and one of my research interests is around how people construct their own identities. The diary transcriptions, and what I write about my books, are very much about revealing something of my identity.

Patrick Gale - Just finished reading

The Cat Sanctuary by Patrick Gale

 6/10


A dear friend is a fan of Patrick Gale and gave me this one to read.

It is about Judith and Joanna, a couple who live in a remote house in Cornwall, and whose lives are disrupted by the arrival of Judith's sister. Deborah's husband has just been blown up by a bomb. Old family history is revisited. Relationships form and storm.  It is a strong story that makes you turn the pages. But, oh, I wish the people had been nicer people. And the cats .......... oh.
