William Palmer
The Stuff of Life
John Murray’s forte, in his novels so far, has been the portrayal of the often extraordinary and sometimes plain barmy people who inhabit his version of Cumbria. A Gentleman’s Relish, his eighth, is a bit of a departure. While it keeps an umbilical link to Cumbria it strikes out in time and place, to follow the misfortunes of three generations of the Geraghty family in Oxford and London.

Great essay by Seán Williams @WiggishHistory in @Lit_Review
A small country "may not have aircraft carriers or regiments of tanks. But guided by an unerring moral compass, it can triumph over even the most fearsomely armed opponent." https://twitter.com/WiggishHistory/status/1278425792385613835
