Gross Out – Ancient Dining

The New Year has started and we’ve all eaten our fill of all things we usually wouldn’t and are trying to bounce back. Well, maybe I can help. Because where we celebrate our festivities of the season with sweet potatoes and sugar crusted cookies, people of long ago had a more interesting palate. Caution: you…

The crack of the anti-aircraft guns rang out overh The crack of the anti-aircraft guns rang out overhead as a plane swooped low enough for the hum of its engine to echo through the cavernous tube station.
“I don’t know.” Grace glanced at the book, still pinched at her location. “I haven’t read that far yet.”
“Well,” the housewife said. “Go on.”
Grace hesitated. “You want me…to read it?” Everyone on the platform of Farringdon Station watched her expectantly. “Out loud?”

This book sounds incredible and I can’t wait to start it!!
