An Everywhere: A Little Book About Reading
Heather Reyes2014

During several months of cancer treatment, writer and editor Heather Reyes decides to turn a necessary evil into an opportunity: the luxury of reading whatever takes her fancy.

An Everywhere: a little book about reading is a quietly passionate and witty defence of the joys and consolations of reading in both the difficult and day-to-day aspects of our lives.

It will appeal to anyone who has enjoyed Susan Hill's Howards End is on the Landing: A Year of reading from home and Ella Berthoud and Susan Elderkin's A Novel Cure: An A-Z of Literary Remedies.
