Book Review | The Girl Who Drank the Moon

On June 6, 2023June 3, 2023 By Jenny ALeave a comment

She spent her childhood being neglected by her parents, who were busy taking care of her immuno-compromised sister. Lucy’s only comfort was the Clock Island book series, which …

Book Review | Miss Eliza’s English Kitchen

On May 20, 2023May 13, 2023 By Jenny A1 Comment

This will hopefully tide me over until we get more Great British Bake-Off. In Miss Eliza’s English Kitchen by Annabel Abbs, Eliza Acton is struggling to get published as a poet, as this is viewed primarily as a man’s domain.
