I am a tea-drinking academic with a penchant for all things literary. I'm obsessed with words and the effects they have on people. This blog will be full of reviews and literary news - including reviews of books not yet published (thanks to the wonderful people at Waterstones, SteamPunk Magazine and several publishing houses). This blog will be published every other week.

Consequences, and the Growth of Love
This lovely little tome dropped through my letter box this morning. An adult fable, eighty-eight pages in total - I devoured it in an hour - it's even beautifully illustrated with Victorianesque silhouettes. What more could you ask for? And Mr Kaufman does have a wonderful sense of humour, at times as liquorice-black as the novella's end-pages.
Dark, beautiful, sentimental.
If you hadn't already guessed, I really enjoyed this novella.

Lovely review Leanne - knowing you and your love of good literature I'm moved, genuinely, to go and read this novella. Thank you!
