Like most people I wasn’t paying much attention to the books pages of newspapers over the weekend – I should apologise really to everyone I’ve spoken to/ shouted at since last Thursday – so it wasn’t till today that I came across (thanks to Mary Morgan) this review in the Times on Saturday. I confess I know nothing about Poldark at all, nor about any tendency to include ravens in rural novels, despite what Melissa Katsoulis suggests, but this is a lovely appreciation and I really like the way she rises to the dialect, which is a bit provocative, it has to be said. Maybe my behaviour in the past few days is more typical than I realised. I should find out about meditation or something perhaps.
