Rather less so now: thank you, George,” adds Johnson. In 1996, epic fantasy would only be found “tucked away in the far, dark corners of high-street bookshops under the label ‘Sci-fi’, or in specialist SF shops like Forbidden Planet”, and supermarkets “wouldn’t touch fantasy with a bargepole,” she says. It’s always hard launching a new series, even by an author, like George, who has been on the scene for a while.” Initial sales were only moderately encouraging. “And it didn’t immediately look as if we’d achieve that. “We costed our offer on modest sales in our territories – expecting, or should I say, hoping for, something like 5,000 hardbacks and 50,000 paperbacks: at the time ambitious numbers for genre fiction,” she says.

The lighthouse is in a dilapidated condition and has a history of witch huntings attached to it, as too have other parts of the island. Liv is an artist and has been engaged by the reclusive current owner to paint a mural on the inside of the Island’s lighthouse ‘The Longing’ – she is also fleeing from something, at the time we don’t know what a decision which has fractured her family. Set over two timelines and told from three perspectives – mother Liv and eldest daughter Sapphire in 1998 and middle daughter Luna in 2021, The Lighthouse Witches is a haunting and atmospheric story set on a remote Scottish island, Lòn Haven. My thanks to Anne Cater of Random Things Tours for the place on the tour and to the publisher for the beautiful hardback copy to review.

The ‘Bolshevik hordes’ were already on the march. In the summer of 1920, the young Marian Zieliński was a 16-year old pupil in the gymnasium of Tarnów, (a town well known for its recent patriotic support for Józef Piłsudski’s Polish Legions.) As the school year was finishing, he and most of the boys in his class skipped school, walked the 300 km to Warsaw, found a recruiting office, lied about their age, and joined the Army. He himself had fought in the war as a teenager and went on to describe some of his amazing adventures. He explained that the PRL’s Communist censorship was suppressing knowledge of the Soviet defeat, adding that everyone knew what had really happened thanks to the experiences of their families. ![]() An early source of information was my future father-in-law, Professor Marian Zieliński, who lived in Kęty near Bielsko.

They are also both fairly serious works – by which I mean that they both clearly have a thing or two to say about the state of America in the 1930s. They are both brilliant pieces of literature that have been read and loved by many millions of people. Both novels focus on the lives of simple, poor farm labourers in the 1930s, and the hardships that they face. Years ago I read what are probably John Steinbeck’s two most famous novels, Of Mice and Men and The Grapes of Wrath. Now, a few weeks previous to this, my brother-in-law had mentioned that he had really enjoyed reading John Steinbeck’s novel Tortilla Flat, so when I found a copy for sale at Hunting Raven Books I snapped it up. During the weekend, we visited the pretty town of Frome, where (along with some great cafés) we found a great little independent bookshop named Hunting Raven Books.

I enjoyed being in the head of this marvellously unreliable narrator, smirked at her many amusing observations, her interactions with the people in her life and the natural world.

Asks the same questions that Dostoevsky asks in Crime and Punishment - who has the right to live? who has the right to kill? and what's the difference between a poacher and a hunter, anyway? (that last question is Tokarczuk's, not Dostoevsky's.) ![]() ![]() Today we only have a fragment of the original map. This man was an Admiral in the Turkish navy. There is a map, dating from 1513, which was made by a man named Piri Ibn Haji Memmed, otherwise known as Piri Re’is.
