"To be transported immediately into calf deep mud...to a rural village marinated in poverty, superstition, and rough Catholicism, and to believe you are truly in an isolated village in 1491, is a rare feat." #walterscottprize shortlisted The Western Wind bit.ly/WSP19short

The root cause of team dysfunction stems from an absence of trust. Great improvisers build a safe environment for their fellow players to work within #scrum #agile #teamwork #business

Technically brilliant, daring, and fiercely alive, this wonderful book deserves every prize going...

No question Samantha Harvey’s #TheWesternWind is one of my books of 2018 so far. In Oakham a man has killed himself or been murdered, why? Told backwards in a slow yet intricate way by the village priest John Reve, one of the most wonderful narrators I’ve read in a long while.
