I am putting this on my TBR list right now. If the article was this moving (I first teared up at this phrase: "every throw and catch had become an act of fraternal faith"), then I know the book will be very moving. I don't have an older brother, but I know I feel very much the same way as the oldest sister to a younger sister and two younger brothers.<br /><br />Enjoy your time at home!Read the Bookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01997187112713403821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-28889529183837313692011-07-30T18:16:21.852+01:002011-07-30T18:16:21.852+01:00Great cake!

She's been writing excellent novels for years and she was a visiting tutor when I was studying for Creative Writing at Birkbeck.

I hope you enjoy your break -- and that it includes lots of cake and books!<br /><br />I've just read a book that might interest you: The House at Norham Gardens, by Penelope Lively.Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02375981493145612394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-76615428979650305872011-07-30T10:29:29.965+01:002011-07-30T10:29:29.965+01:00Thank you so much for the book recommendation and ...Thank you so much for the book recommendation and the Guardian link. Reading that piece bought a tear to my eye, and I am not normally a tearful person. My own two sons, eight years apart in age, are not as close as perhaps they could be ... the younger was always resentful of the older's having done everything first ... I think perhaps I shall buy him a copy of the book.<br />Happy holidays :DAnniehttp://knitsofacto.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-39555799074519530712011-07-30T02:07:35.018+01:002011-07-30T02:07:35.018+01:00Hi Simon
