If you really want to know how I feel about Ragwort, just to say that I requested it on NetGalley, then immediately pre-ordered it on Kindle so that not only did I guarantee myself a copy, but the publisher also sent me cut scenes from the previous book, Gorse.

Totally worth it.

This is as jam packed with Cornish folk and magic as Gorse was, and after the disaster at the end of Gorse, the inhabitants of Mirecoombe are looking for something to believe in: the Old Ways, the Church…or the new name in town. The Mother. Just who is she anyway?

Th new Vicar is wonderful (let’s just say he’s open minded), Nancy is still learning the ropes as Keeper and missing Pet terribly. And then there’s the arrival of Nancy’s grandmother - and everything that comes after.

I’m being vague, and for good reason. If you haven’t started this series yet, I highly recommend it. I can’t wait for the final book in this series (if that’s what it’s going to be!!).

Beast is the story of a troubled woman (played by Jessie Buckley) living in an isolated community who finds herself pulled between the control of her oppressive family and the allure of a secretive outsider (played by Johnny Flynn) who is suspected of a series of brutal murders. As the relationship grows between them, the movie takes us on an uneasy journey as she breaks away from her family and movies in with Pascal, after he is suspected of the murders, Moll stands by him against her families wishes and the suspicions of the town-folk where she lives.

Directed and written by Michael Pearce, Beast, which is his first full-length feature is a stunning movie, he takes his time to build up the points in the film that have your jaw dropping and treats the production as something that you don’t just watch, you get sucked into and feel as if you have become part of the community watching from afar an still being shocked by the outcomes.
