In order to write, I need to read.

It’s been a long time since I was inspired by a book. But upon return from my hols after reading Geraldine Brooks’s ‘People of the Book’, I began typing furiously on a new word doc, trying to re capture all the thoughts I had had while lying on the beach in Mykonos. It seemed so easy then, I understood I needed a narrator and in my mind I had it all worked out. But slogging away trying to put thoughts to paper is never as easy. still, Geraldine gave me a burst of energy to keep going and try something new.
People of the Book is truly a masterpiece of historical fiction with masses of research woven into the story. I couldn’t put it down and have learnt so much from the author. Thanks Geraldine!
