![]() ![]() The action of the ‘present day’ is pretty sparse. ![]() It was published in 2008, I bought it in 2009 – and finally, after ten years sitting on my shelves, I read it! And it’s a great argument against those people who suggest you should get rid of books that have been on your shelves unread for years – because it’s one of the best novels I’ve read this year. ![]() I did pop into the beautiful (but not especially well-stocked) Waterstones, but most of my time was spent with a book in Caffe Nero – specifically the novel Molly Fox’s Birthday (2008) by Deirdre Madden. Naturally I wouldn’t dream of going to a football match, so that left me with a couple of hours to kill in Bradford. But it did have the nearest football team to our holiday cottage when my brother and I recently stayed in Yorkshire, and apparently going and seeing twenty-two men try to get a sphere from one place to another place is a vital part of a holiday. With apologies to anybody who lives there, it’s not exactly on a ‘must see’ tourist list of the UK. ![]() I’ll be honest, I could happily have gone my whole life without visiting Bradford. ![]()
