@JanetEmson I loved Conversations with an Octopus 🐙 by Rebecca Smith.

Wonderful sense of place - a typical British seaside town, the WI who have hidden depths and an octopus! What more could you want?

@FionaWoodifield She is very deliberately called Jane - I was hoping people would hear distant echoes of Sanditon. I wanted her to be the smart creature (underestimated by some) at the heart of the story. 🐙

@MarkEccleston1 @FionaWoodifield @JanetEmson Thank you!
