Thérèse Raquin This book is one of Émile Zola’s seminal works and it’s easy to see why, if you read it prepare to be transfixed in horror. It is a tragedy but a dark tragedy where love is reduced to base desire. Apart from the maternal love of Mme Raquin love makes not one appearance in it’s pure,...

I have like 15 minutes to write this blog so expect loads of short, punchy sentences. Been away. Was nice. Went to the highlands.

The truth is such a tricky concept. We like to imagine its simple. Good v Evil. Us V Them. Right V Wrong. Truth V Lies. It's so much easier that way and even the strongest of us requires consistency; stability. If we can easily catergorise the truth into neat little concepts then life is simple. Do...

Broken

Firstly I would like to say a huge thank you for all the kind messages left on my last blog. The third day of the year has proved an awful lot better than the others.

Two days in and my new years is a mess. I am emotionally up in the air over Erynn and just about everything else. My friends are not having the greatest time either. I really dont know what to do, how can you prove you are 'for real' having never met somebody and having met them over the internet??...
