We are then taken back in time to one snowy night in 1910 were a baby girl is born. The story begins with our heroine Ursula Todd assassinating Hitler in 1930 in a Munich cafe with her father’s service revolver, the SS draw their weapons in retaliation, fire and darkness falls. The first time this happened I was being read Enid Blyton’s The Magic Faraway Tree, and the last time this happened I was reading Kate Atkinson’s Life After Life… When I finally have the chance to get all comfy on the sofa and turn over that first fresh crisp page of a new book, I find myself totally lost in enchanting new worlds and completely invested in intriguing new characters and their complicated lives. This is of course ridiculous! Nothing should be more important than broadening your mind and indulging your love of literature! When I say ‘important’ I just mean higher up on my to do list like walking the dog, tiding my wardrobe for the one thousandth time, sorting out the washing etc – all the little niggly things that if I don’t do before sitting down to read I annoyingly start to feel guilty about. I love reading, however I always seem to find more ‘important’ things to do rather than take the time to sit down with a cuppa and enjoy a good book.
