Today is my stop on the Random Things blog tour for Dorothy by Neil Rathmell.
I was immediately intrigued by this book, which is a novel in verse that follows the life of one woman over the course of the last century.
I have always been fascinated by people, much like my grandparents, whose lives spanned much of the last century. I think they must have witnessed so much change and upheaval, it is hard to comprehend.
Independent Dorothy, the author tells the whole life story of a Yorkshire woman - a normal life in an extraordinary time.
This is a lovely novel and Dorothy’s story is vividly brought to life with this beautiful and touching prose.
