Ah so glad your partnerโ€™s op went well and that he is recovering quickly. Must be a big relief! I shall add โ€˜Donโ€™t let him inโ€™ to my summer reading list - and look forward to seeing what else you have on yours. Iโ€™m already taking about a monthโ€™s worth of reading with me on an imminent 7 day trip - but Iโ€™m always open to *even more* suggestions. โ˜บ๏ธ๐Ÿ“šAs for the Salt Path - whatever the facts may be, and I guess they will play out in due course, there is something slightly unpleasant about the gleeful character assassination now going onโ€ฆ..before the facts are fully known. I thought the same about the Observer piece - there was a distinct undercurrent to it. So I have largely switched off from

It. Possibly if and when we get there, Iโ€™ll read the court judgment in the looming legal claim. But apart from that my interest is limited. Whether it was a work of fiction or fact the book itself, at the time I read it was, enjoyable. The only bit that bothered me was the (alleged) treatment by the court of them as litigants in person. My experience of court and LIPs is that judges will generally do their utmost to accommodate lay defendants (to a point). Will be interesting to see where it ends up, but I have otherwise largely been ignoring the speculative gossip/column inches about it on here and other channels. Lord knows there are far more pressing matters requiring our focus ๐Ÿ™ˆ. x
