Thank you @StuartEvers. This is a book you can really get lost in - beautiful writing. A tale of two families, living in the shadow of the threat of the nuclear bomb, epic & intimate simultaneously. If (like me) you loved Bournville or The Northern Clemency, this a must read.
Book #37 2023 (& holiday read #2) is The Blind Light by @StuartEvers

Have you seen #Oppenheimer yet? Watch how the bomb was made, then read about how we lived with it in the 'spellbinding' novel The Blind Light from @StuartEvers buff.ly/43ykjZi

Hernan Diaz’s excellent second novel Trust asks which lies are more compelling: the ones we tell ourselves or the ones the world throws our way? ✍️ Stuart Evers spectator.co.uk/article/wall…

"Resurrecting a 'subject' from its ashes is third-degree work that deals both with one’s self—who forgot—and others—who forgot." In this essay from 1958, French novelist Marguerite Duras offers a literary perspective on screenwriting Hiroshima Mon Amour: bit.ly/3wsEque
