Review: Goodnight Nobody by Ethel Rohan

October 8, 2013 by Diane Becker

“As soon as she’s organised, she walks onto the glass bridge and through the warm blue sky, her arms stretched out from her sides.

Reviewed here (by me) for The Short Review.

Only temporary …

April 7, 2013 by Diane Becker

I’ll miss my temporary desk. OK, it wasn’t very big and had to double as a table but at least everything was within arm’s reach. On Monday we moved out of the – very warm – flat we’d rented for the winter and into our – very cold – metal box up on the hillside. At 6am on Tuesday it was 1°C INSIDE. A few days later, a few degrees warmer. We have hats, thick socks, three duvets and a […]
