The travels of Mary Loosemore

Author: John Banville

The Sea – John Banville

A novel I read rather than enjoyed. The language is beautiful, but the narrative rather too dreamy for me. Possibly one to re read when life is a little more zen and rather less hectic.

About Me

Born and brought up in Solihull, I studied at St Andrews and in Chester before moving to live and work in London. In 2020 I relocated to Herefordshire.

I’ve done a variety of jobs in the legal sector, focusing on the knowledge management and technology side of things since 2000. You’ll find details on LinkedIn.

SparklyTrainers is about my world outside work. As you’ll see, I love to travel, take photos and read.

My email is [my firstname] @ [my surname].com
