From the author of the Amazon #1 best-selling anthology 'The Book' comes a new collection of journal entries, original short stories, excerpts, reviews and articles. In 'Genesis' a writer begins a new work from scratch. It is to be her signature work and the main character will go down as one of literature's greatest. But the character has other ideas about the way the plot should go, and the writer has to decide whether to consign the whole manuscript to the bin or just let the story unfold.'Being Mandy Broadhead' is a memoir of the writer's teenage years. The agony of being plain and not particularly popular crystallises into a fixation with the prettiest and most popular girl in her school.'No-One Was Saved' is the outworking of the lyrics of a popular song. Who was Eleanor Rigby and why did she collect rice from the church grounds? What was the face she kept in a jar, and who was it for?'Moving' includes excerpts from a diary written when the writer moved with her family from suburban Cheshire to rural Cumbria in 2000.

I learned a new word from this! Several times a variation of the phrase 'go crocodile’ was used. From context, I assumed it was akin to chaining, or queueing. It prompted me to go investigate further, learning it describes ‘a procession of people or objects, usually in relation to children’. The suggestion of movement makes it closer to chaining than queueing. I love learning new words and phrases from books I'm reading.
While I enjoyed all of the offerings within, my favourite were the journal entries, where the author tells of her adventures managing holiday cottages in Cumbria. They drew me in to the point that I really felt I was there. I work as the night auditor at a small inn/hotel, and really appreciated the trials and travails that can plague those in hospitality. I can safely say, though, that while I've had need to call the police on occasion, I've yet to have need of an ambulance. I do hope the guest in question was okay. Nosy me really wanted to know what happened to them though!
