![]() ![]() Listening to it again and its sequel on Valentine’s Day, I couldn’t see why I wouldn’t read the source material (albeit in translation). What better way to do so than with a romance.ĭo you remember Valentine’s Day? I urged you all to listen to the Afternoon Play on Radio 4 and told the story of my wireless encounter last year with David Tennant? The radio version of Love Virtually was a beautifully performed adaptation of Daniel Glattauer’s incredibly popular book. Having just finished Red Riding 1974by David Peace, possibly the bleakest book I’ve read for some time, if not the bleakest book known to mankind (although a friend who is reading it on her skiing holiday after seeing the review, sent me a Facebook message saying “bleak is too nice a word for this book”), I was in need of an antidote, I needed to cleanse my palate. No philosophical platitudes from her, all she says is “Just what you need” In my case she was bang on. ![]() In the top left corner of the cover is a quote by author Wendy Holden. This may be a bit undignified because I am likely to gush somewhat about this book and its sequel. ![]()
