I did not want to put this book down. The world of Elizabeth Zott held me completely, understanding her struggles to be acknowledged in the patriarchal world of the 1950s science community with feminine solidarity, and rooting for her as she makes her own uncompromising way.
I loved the themes, the clever writing, and the characters you want as friends. After all, who wouldn’t want a dog with such brilliant opinions as Six Thirty as a companion?
Bonnie Garmus communicated with me on Twitter about the casting of the dog for the Apple TV series; our lab was the wrong size and in the wrong country. I look forward to the adaptation.

"A unique heroine ... you'll find yourself wishing she wasn’t fictional." —Seattle Times…
As a prolific ghostwriter of memoirs, I’m also an avid reader of the
form and writing my own. Cold Fish Soup deals with themes I’ve met before,
personal trauma and the unexpected loss of a loved one, but it does so in a
kind and no-nonsense, Northern way.
Adam observes his stretch of the Yorkshire coast
with empathy and wit, with an astute understanding of those other world, forgotten
towns, battered by the sea and neglect. He captures what it is to be an outsider in
the edge lands.
This is a moving and funny study of family and the
landscapes that make us.
'Adam Farrer is a bold new voice in nonfiction writing. His keen observations are as gentle as they are wry, as attentive to the bleak truths of loss and deprivation as they are to the eccentric humour of humans being entirely themselves ... Witty, charming, moving and real.' Jenn Ashworth
Before Adam Farrer's family relocated to Withernsea in 1992, he'd never heard of the Holderness coast. The move represented one thing to Adam: a chance to leave the insecurities of early adolescence behind. And he could do that anywhere. What he didn't know…
Angela Harding’s prints contain the essence of the British countryside
through the seasons.
Rather than my usual approach to an art book, I tried to
resist the temptation to read this lovely work in one sitting, and instead, parceled
up each season and unfolded as the year turned.
Curled in a book nook with my cup
of tea and her book, looking out of the window and imagining the wildlife in
her beautiful prints flitting across my suburban garden.
