Jaime Winstone recommended Pulp Fiction (1994) in Movies (curated)

"I’m thinking of a bunch of gangster films I’d like to include, like Bronx Tale is a particular favourite, but my final choice is Pulp Fiction. It’s a film I never get bored watching. It’s shocking, it’s stylised, it’s clever and the soundtrack is kickass."

The Night Watch

Sarah Waters | 2006 | Fiction & Poetry

Book Favorite

"I love all of Sarah Waters’ historical fiction but this is my favorite novel, set during and after WWII. It starts slow but picks up insane momentum, using reverse narration to follow the characters backward in time to the explosive wartime scenes that shaped them."

I love how the author blends history and fiction together. This one is set around the time of the plague and the great fire of London. Very imaginative as usual. I do love this series and can't wait for more or Sam and the gang.
