Blog2015 ≫ There is an art to navigating London during the Blitz

Started a new book, recommended by a friend, and LOVING IT. I finished Lamentation, took a lot longer over that than I should have done because I stopped for a while in order to read a book that had to go back to the library. Was about to start something new when Clare reminded me our friend had loaned me The First Fifteen Lives Of Harry August1 by Claire North. Time travel!

. Certain guides are obvious: Bethnal Green and Balham Undergrounds are no-goes, as is most of Wapping, Silvertown and the Isle of Dogs. The further west you go the more you can move around late at night in reasonable confidence of not being hit, but should you pass an area which you feel sure was a council estate when you last checked in the 1970s, that is usuall a sign that you should steer clear.

Not read much of this book yet, but really enjoying it. It's about a man who lives the same life over and over again, but keeping his experiences each time. The first couple of times you'd think you were going mad, and maybe he is.

Friend who recommended it did not actually finish it, just recommended it to the sort of person who likes Goodnight Sweetheart and Back To The Future.
