Hints and tips:
...Harvest , by Jim Crace, Picador, RRP£16.99/Vintage, RRP$15 A spare, haunting book that offers a peasant’s-eye view of a catastrophic week in an unnamed and remote feudal village....
...a Beatle/friend of Madonna, Gwyneth, Cameron et al/mother of four – she is Just Like Everyone Else, this seems to be going to extremes....

...Forest asylum....
...So, too, is Deir al Medina, the village of the tomb-workers, equally and mercifully free from the busloads of Luxor’s rushing tourists....
