@ronanhession.bsky.social @ofmooseandmen.bsky.social Fabulous to see the TV adaptation last night. So utterly charming and a great excuse for a re-read! Glad they kept the 1st line (best since the truth universally acknowledged one), and Julia Roberts warmth added to the charm. Marvellous 😊

I was amazed by this book. Completely convincing world building, propulsive plot but most importantly so profoundly personalist, political, serious-minded. It’s a soaring feat of imagination tethered firmly to the present. Congratulations @ofmooseandmen.bsky.social and @jomcmillan.bsky.social

Looking forward to this...
