The Passion of New Eve by Angela Carter. After what I said about the other book by Angela Carter I read a few weeks back, you might be surprised to see another one here.. this latest one was part of my college course reading list and seeing that my ‘quest’ has been partly derailed by …
M’s story is not mine to tell… but it’s a little sad… and whilst I’ve never met her personally I know of her and Mr M and his friends from way back then are all helping her out I wanted to do something too so I made her a quilt. It’s what I know to …
