Moon Tiger by Penelope Lively is a clever, kaleidoscopic dive into the memories of Claudia Hampton. Weaving through time, it’s like history told by an unreliable yet fascinating narrator, blending love, war, and introspection. Lively’s writing is sharp and witty, offering both sweeping moments and intimate detail, all while blurring the lines between personal narrative and historical fact.
Painting: I painted a moon on a tiger, though there are no moons nor tigers.

August 13, 2024Ep 71. “James Bond – Casino Royale” by Ian Fleming
To follow and support us, click here: http://anovelreviewpodcast.com
The names Bond, James Bond. The introduction to one of literatures most famous spies. The man who smokes 70 cigarettes a day. A high-stakes game of words and cards, where James Bond, suave as a martini and sharp as a razor's edge, gambles his heart and lives on the turn of a card. A lyrical dance of danger, laced with tuxedos and treachery, this debut flickers like a baccarat table under the neon glint of espionage.
Painting: I painted a martini and a card from a deck of cards
Some of the books and authors discussed in this episode include:
“James Bond – Casino Royale” by Ian Fleming

August 06, 2024Ep 70. "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince" by J.K. Rowling
To follow and support us, click here: http://anovelreviewpodcast.com
Back again we go to Hogwarts for Harry’s 6th year of mayhem and madness. A novel in which so much is the same and yet there is a world of difference. The threatening tension from previous books of Voldemort is now realised and defined. And in that, a lifting of tension. We are free to indulge in the magically mundane and enjoy the final inbreath of calm, before the calamitous outbreath of the final chapter to come.
Painting: I painted the ring of Marvolo Gaunt
Some of the books and authors discussed in this episode include:
“Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince” by J.K.Rowling
“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows’ by J.K. Rowling

July 30, 2024Ep 69. 3 Novellas I loved
To follow and support us, click here: http://anovelreviewpodcast.com
The Novella. The Goldilocks length. Not too short, not too long, but that being said, a novella is tough to pull off. What is it that makes a good novella? Is it the length, the story, the characters? There might never be a correct answer to such a question – just a personal preference. Well, this week, tune in to hear about the 3 novellas I loved
Painting: I painted a leaf coming out of a book to represent one of the leaves from Leaf by Niggle
Some of the books and authors discussed in this episode include:
“Foster” by Claire Keegan
“Burning Secret” by Stefan Sweig
“Leaf by NIggle” by J.R.R Tolkien

Buying a book is the combining moment of pure excitement meeting the expectation of the unknown. But what happens when you buy a book, and it doesn’t live up to your expectations?

To follow and support us, click here: http://anovelreviewpodcast.com
Where there is a Weyward there is a way. A novel about three women told through three stories threaded together by similar circumstances. Abuse of some sort and a connection to the natural world. Men labelled them as witches, but a name given to you is not a definition to who you are or who you have to become. Weyward is the story of women surviving against the oppression of men.
Painting: I painted a crow across a stormy night.
Some of the books and authors discussed in this episode include:
“Weyward” by Emilia Hart
