Book Review – Scuffed Granny

The Land, The Land by Robin Hawdon

One farmer’s fight to preserve the land that his family has farmed for generations is a story of the little man versus the power of money

Short but definitely not sweet, this novella holds all the hallmarks of a good short story and is threaded with dark humour throughout

The book that begins Maya Angelou’s memoir is full of her experiences at a young age of what is wrong with the world but also, what is right

A modern novel containing the essence of the classic fairytale with its hints of the magical – like a river, a story of twists and turns

The wonderfully told story of Toby Wey who, from humble origins, has an adventurous, character-filled life surviving by living on his wits

A well-paced thriller set in Paris in the 50s about a man trying to find the truth of his wife’s death, in a troubled and war-scarred city

The lovely story of Anna who, when the life that she has always known is torn part, is faced with a choice-resent or embrace the change?

One line cannot do this story justice – a tale of a young girl in a life that no young girl should ever encounter.

A book detailing an era of the author’s life spent living in the Swiss Alps but also one full of meaning and philosophy, based on experience

Just what you want in historical fiction-the machinations of the ambitious, the glamour of the French court, enlivened with great characters
