Audiobook Our Spoons Came from Woolworths, written by Barbara Comyns. "I defy anyone to read the opening pages and not to be drawn in, as I was. Quite simply, Comyns writes like no one else."

An artist's model with an eccentric collection of pets, she is ill-equipped to cope with the bohemian London of the 1930s, where poverty, babies (however much loved) and her husband conspire to torment her.

Audiobook The Vet's Daughter written by Barbara Comyns. 'A small Gothic masterpiece. I have read it many times, and with every re-read I marvel again at its many qualities - its darkness, its strangeness, its humour, its sadness, its startling images and twists of phrase' Sarah Waters. Growing up in Edwardian south London, Alice Rowlands longs for romance and excitement, for a release from a life that is dreary and lonely.
