The travels of Mary Loosemore

The London Train – Tessa Hadley

The London Train – Tessa Hadley

Two sides of an affair; two sets of families and friends.

I didn’t enjoy the first story-side – perhaps I wasn’t meant to find Paul a likeable character (which I didn’t). For me, Cora was more interesting, and sympathetic.

Clever Girl – Tessa Hadley

Stella’s life from infatuated teen, gym slip mum, commune resident, mistress then wife of wealthy older business man.

Sounds like a chick lit cliché but doesn’t read like one.

My first try of Tessa Hadley; not my last.

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
