And thank you. Your comment has ans...Hello Ms <b>Mr</b>, <br /><br />And thank you. Your comment has answered my (not explicitly-asked) question, in that I was wondering whether my words would be of any use in arousing interest in the book in question. Mainly because it's been so long since I have done any writing on here, and so it was hard to read my review back and objectively tell whether I'd done the book any sort of justice, let alone sound like it's worth reading (which indeed it is).<br /><br />So I'm quite happy to take your word for it :)<br /><br />This is C's fourth novel, there's also a novella and an ebook and a couple of other things she's contributed to, if memory serves. All have been good, though I think my favourite was 'Like Bees To Honey', which I wrote about here a couple of years ago. It was definitely something I needed to read and really made me think about some things in a different way. <br /><br />Thanks for the welcome back - no, no pressure, it's hard to say when and how often I'll post - but now that I've finally deposited more words here, maybe it'll be easier to do so every once in a while. <br /><br />I may check out this other similarly-named blog site that you've happened upon...<br /><br />xtrousershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12879862280895772283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5137682720915766788.post-49555059277707259022013-05-06T07:30:57.249+01:002013-05-06T07:30:57.249+01:00Whoah. I tried to come here, you know, and forgot ...Whoah. I tried to come here, you know, and forgot the "the" from the name of your fine house. And lo, there is someone else who's named their place "trouserpress"(sans <i>the</i>). Only they have <i>no posts at all</i>.<br /><br />So you know, what's a year's break here amongst friends. <br /><br />xAnna MRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13801478271766064478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5137682720915766788.post-19720466700043337752013-05-05T19:08:05.308+01:002013-05-05T19:08:05.308+01:00Hurrah, you are back.
And how very like you, and...Hurrah, you are back. <br /><br />And how very like you, and so very sweet, to open after a bit of an absence by praising the work of someone else. You have a knack of writing these reviews, you know; I would very much like to read this book, but I think getting hold of it here in the North Pole is not going to be easy. Yes I <i>know</i> there's Amazon and you can get <i>everything</i> there – but I am trying not to use my visa card at all (At. All!), bookshops don't stock a great deal of English literature, and libraries are even less likely to cover a representative sample of contemporary writers in English. So it remains to be seen whether I will manage to find it. However, your account of it gives pleasant food for the imagination. I am discovering, in other words, that the next best thing perhaps to reading a good book is to imagine how it would unfold. <br /><br />Caroline is really rather prolific, isn't she? I don't know her personally (I mean, not even here in blogoland) but I do recall her first novel being published a few years ago, and this is now, what, the third since then? This, I suppose, is also one of the beauties of the social media (although obviously nowadays it's more FB than blogging): you see the lives of other people unfolding. Life can be so very interesting. And indeed <i>is</i>, not just "can be" – although sometimes it's difficult to keep it in mind or experience it.<br /><br />I am glad you are back, young <b>housut</b> – no pressure, obviously, to start blogging on a fantastically daily basis. Although it would be nice.<br /><br />xAnna MRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13801478271766064478noreply@blogger.com
