This was released last week, and I pre-ordered from Waterstones as I enjoyed Babel and Yellowface so much. This one less so, as it's a book that can only really be fully enjoyed by people who have worked in Academe, as it is utterly focused on that world, imagining Hell as a campus populated purely by academics - no-one else seems to exist in this universe. I stuck with it though, and admire the imagination required to construct the hellscape. IRL, Freddie is just back from his DoE Gold Expedition, where it rained constantly and all their plans had to change. We haven't talked about it much yet as he got back late last night and is still recovering. William tried his new Woking High School uniform on yesterday and looked so grown-up. We went to Ypres with the Scouts last weekend and he seemed so young compared to the others, it's hard to believe our baby boy is off to big school.
