A delayed treat to read this at last … & lawkes it’s so good, so beautifully written, poignant & deeply observant, funny & tender. @lissakevans.bsky.social embodies this period so deliciously well, am seeing so many parallels with farming women of the time! #SmallBombatDimperley

I loved #SmallBombatDimperley by @lissakevans.bsky.social which was funny, tender & the period setting beautifully described. I was unsettled by #CaledonianRoad, Andrew O’Hagan, which I will reread - well written, depressing, deep, a London I have heard of but don’t recognise.
