Intriguing Fizz. In retrospect, I'd say just about all the flaws I found with the book are due to editing. I suspect she presented them with a largely true tale which they wanted to publish, but they also wanted to play up certain aspects. And that was to the detriment of the truthful elements.

She said they’ve sold an option to make a film of the book.

I'm really enjoying Prisoners of Geography, although I wonder how much of it I''ll retain. I find fiction audiobooks much easier to follow than non-fiction where, if you get distracted even slightly, you can quickly lose track.

I wasn't inspired LD when we went to hear her at Oundle last weekend.

If you do go I'd be interested in your feedback.

She has another book in the pipeline apparently.

I’m 3/4 of the way through the book.
I’m enjoying it but probably because I’m treating it as mostly fiction.
