Bardzo wzruszająca wypowiedż. Książka "In the Blood" jest trudna, ale znakomita. Myślę o niej często. Jestem bardzo ciekawa jaka będzie "Sleeping on Island". 🌹🌹🌹

Incidentally, I believe Dennis Silk was the person who wrote Nick Drake's recommendation letter to Fitzwilliam College, University of Cambridge. (He was Nick Drake's housemaster at Marlborough College I believe.)
