More than ever I can’t stop reading at the moment (i’m in the right job for it fortunately 😉) and am currently reading and absolutely loving, ‘Heart the Lover’ by Lily King 💕. Having realised I’d only ever watched Wuthering Heights, I leapt on that bandwagon and have now read this lovely paperback penguin edition. A haunting love story like no other. Yesterday, in one sitting, I also read ‘My Soul a Shining Tree’. A remarkable, award winning new book by Jamila Gavin. The storytelling is outstanding and her message of humanity, against discrimination, is loud and clear, yet delivered so poetically. By far the best book I have ever read about the First World War. A must read for everyone young and old. @lilykingbooks @j_gavin1961 #wutheringheights #heartthelover #thebestbooks #incrediblestories
I devoured this book and am lucky enough to be visiting Paris again in the Spring. I love Paris and everything about it, especially when the trees are in blossom, and the sun adds a further glow to all those extraordinary gold trimmings. The decadent architecture, the best art museums and of course, the restaurants. However, I have now learnt of another Paris. A darker side behind the scenes of its elegant facade. Having worked in an Italian restaurant, washing up in my youth, where I learnt a multitude of Italian swear words, I too have witnessed the exhausting reality of work as a waiter. However, this astonishing account has opened my eyes wider still. This is a fantastic book, a gritty lesson, yet witty too and certainly a reminder to leave a healthy tip ! @edward_chisholm_ @octavias_bookshop #awaiterinparis
