"He decided that where the dead were involved there was always an element of condescension: the deceased had been put in his or her place, namely the grave, and however lavish the tributes with which this was accompanied there was no altering the fact that the situation of the living was superior and to men, in particular, that seemed to appeal" ? #painfullyobservant #makesyouthink

Finally getting round to reading this book having owned it for several years ☺️ what better time than at a picnic with reading snacks #heaven #readingbliss

I adore Dorothy Koomson ❤️ Her unceasing wit, strong characters and unwillingness to shy away from hard subjects, like adoption or the death of a child, makes her one of my favourite authors. Just don't read her books on public transport unless you're okay with blubbering like a baby in public! 😭

When you take the dust jacket off your copy of Oryx & Crake and know it will fuel your nightmares for days to come... That aside, I love Atwood.
