I'm loving these snippets and find myself identifying a bit too comfortably with Pat!

I got a sudden flash of a group of Chinese ladies I met wearing high stilettos on the top of a spectacular waterfall in Iceland. The rock on which we stood was soaked in spray.

Only snippets but I already visualise a tv series.

I chuckled out loud three times! Omg I love Pat already. Looking forward to the Ely event!

Phillipa, do you like Iris Murdoch? I’m reading The Philosopher’s Pupil currently and I think you’d like it (I think everyone should like it tbf, she’s brilliant).

Anyway, when I’ve finished that, I’ll read this because I enjoyed those extracts very much.

Yes I do, incredible writer.

Well done on your new book, Philippa, an old dream come true for you! I've already booked your session in York in July. Looking forward to meeting you in person! 🌺👏

Patricia is in my mind’s eye already . I look forward to becoming more acquainted with her. Enjoy the anticipation and excitement of book launch week.

I’m really looking forward to the rest! Great character and setting - plenty of opportunities for witnessing human folly (dangling legs off the edge, anyone?!). I’m coming to see you at Charleston. Good luck for the book tour - I hope you love it.

Ooh she’s a great character, I’m loving this already! One for the hammock (from which I can see my neighbours, funnily enough)

Well, good morning! I just love your style, and your heroine is compelling. Most importantly, I want to read on and find out more about what happened…
