Sofia's House
​
Inspiration for writing this book:
​
I wanted to write a 'summer' book. Personally, I like to read in season - summery books in the summer, wintery books in the winter!
​
I lived on the beautiful island of Cyprus for two years so I have firsthand experience of Greek Cypriot hospitality as well as the mediterranean temperatures.
Currently reading
Mansfield Park - Jane Austen
​​
The year 2025 celebrates 250 years since the birth of Jane Austen.
​
And as such, it seems appropriate to read at least one of her novels this year.
​
I'm about a third of the way through and am finding it an enjoyable, thought-provoking read. Not as light and witty as some of her other novels, Mansfield Park is a complex, multilayered work, with an endearing plot and delightful prose.
