Happy 181 Birthday Henry James. Thank you for explaining my life to me.

There'll be a little flurry of #YouAreHere stuff for the next two or three weeks I'm afraid, but I'm so pleased to see this, from Johanna Thomas-Corr.

Perfect Sunday reading!

I got so much pleasure from David Nicholls’s latest novel, You Are Here.

It reminded me of The Remains of the Day crossed with Michael Winterbottom’s The Trip, only with more Gore-Tex.

It’s the Book of the Week in today’s Sunday Times.

This is a wonderful show, deeply moving and enchanting with an almost Shakespearean tone. Going to go again.

Before the Light Fades is out soon in paperback.
In it I trace my mother's uncompromising way of life, from her arrest for civil disobedience aged 19. And through to her decision to die peacefully by her own hand at the age of 75. A legacy of courage - and love.

“Have you forgotten what we were like then
when we were still first rate
and the day came fat with an apple in its mouth

it’s no use worrying about Time
but we did have a few tricks up our sleeves
and turned some sharp corners”
Frank O’Hara, born 27 March 1926
