BOOK REVIEW

TOTEM
by Matthew Hall

I was completely absorbed in this story, thinking about it even when I wasn’t reading.
A brilliant read from a talented author.

Out now @EyeAndLightning

Wow. Totem audio book has just gone live. First time I have heard it and Anna Rust has done a beautiful job narrating.
Huge thank you Anna and the production team - everything I had hoped for.

I was thrilled to visit @durhamcathedral yesterday and see Let These Things Be Written, my novel about St Cuthbert, on the bookshelves of the cathedral shop. Thanks to all the volunteers who do such amazing work there. @EyeAndLightning

Power isn't always the person who signs your payslip.

Sometimes it's the people who can make your life impossible if you don't do what they want.

[Eye Books @EyeAndLightning]

Who has more power:

The person who gives you permission?

Or the person who can punish you for using it?

The Blindspot asks us to look again at where power really lives.
