*a more in-depth review will come in a few days*

I honestly can not get over how wonderful this novel is. There are parts that do drag on but overall, it is a very intriguing read that I will hold onto too reread!!

As I've come to expect from Mosse, a slow start to this book was worth persevering with. Once the story was established it was enjoyable, if not slightly rushed at the end. The Cathar history is rich and intriguing, an educational, yet touching novel.

Hard hitting book
An uncharacteristically sombre and serious graphic novel. This book tells the demise of Captain Marvel as cancer ravages his body, despite the universe's scientists trying to find a solution. Very touching book at times, albeit with a dated narrative style and tone.

Book Favorite

"This early 20th century novel about a music hall dancer, a performance artist of that time, who measures her freedom between relationship and touring has not aged at all. No one writes about relationships as perceptively as Colette and very few write as well."

"This largely autobiographical novel has had deep meaning for me from the time that I first read it in the late ‘60s. It’s about a man coming to terms with who he is and the legacy that he wants to leave behind. It’s stunningly beautiful."

"‘Coventry are fuck all. They’ve got a shit team and shit support. Hitler had the right idea when he flattened the place.’ Yes, I was hooked from the opening sentences too. This is the most important English novel since Orwell put pen to paper."
